NATO ready to defend vs 'Moscow or Minsk' – Stoltenberg

THE HAGUE, Netherlands: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is ready to defend itself against any threat from 'Moscow or Minsk,' Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Tuesday, after Belarus welcomed Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin into exile.

Stoltenberg said NATO would agree to strengthen its defenses at a key summit in Lithuania's capital Vilnius next week in order to protect all members, especially those that border Russia's ally Belarus.
