A NATO spokeswoman expressed sharp criticism of massive overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power grid and said the alliance would continue to support Kiev.
“NATO strongly condemns Russia’s large-scale attack against Ukraine, that has killed and terrorized civilians and targeted critical energy infrastructure,” the spokeswoman said.
“We stand by Ukraine, and allies continue to make unprecedented contributions to Ukraine’s defences,” she added.
She noted that in response to the war, NATO had strengthened its air and missile defence and said it would continue to assess its posture and defend all members.
