The new headquarters of the Multinational Division of NATO in Latvia will be in place / Article / LSM.LV

The establishment of personnel means that the command structure will be improved. The headquarters would allow local leaders to take charge of the four battalions deployed in the Baltic countries and Poland, as well as the local forces, in case of crisis, if the Baltic States were separated from the rest of the Alliance.

The new headquarters will have about 200 people. "NATO Heads of State and Government gathered in Brussels on Wednesday to support the strengthening of the military capabilities of the air and naval forces in the Baltic Sea region. NATO will significantly increase its ability to respond to traditional and hybrid threats by establishing a hybrid threat response mechanism, "President Raimonds Vējonis said after the meeting. State and government in Brussels is already considered a success because the decisions rendered make NATO even stronger and our region is even better protected, "said the president, the unit, noted that historical events confirm that, only if we are united, we can protect our countries and our partners from military and hybrid threats.At today, more than before, the alliance of it be united, strong and able to find solutions to new security challenges.

However, in the public environment, the media have all the details of NATO decisions in the second plane. The handshake of Tramp was the shortest and least likely to smile, probably because they were having breakfast every morning, where Tramps was talking bitterly about Germany and the Nordstream pipeline. He did it impromptu during a regular photo.

"Everyone is talking about it all over the world – pag, for a moment, we must defend you against Russia, but why do you pay billions of dollars to Russia? Why do the NATO countries, Germany, devote a large part of their energy needs to Russia? If you look at this, Germany is a Russian hostage because it destroys its coal-fired power plants, its nuclear power plants and takes as much oil and gas from Russia. In my opinion, NATO must pay attention. That's inappropriate, "Tramps announced.

These Tramp statements became the main topic of discussion Wednesday, while the public scene was certainly obscured by other NATO themes in the world.

President Raimonds Vējonis did not think that Tramps was tough, he added that "Europe as a whole depends on Russian gas".

On the LTV issue of whether the presence of NATO forces could be permuted permanently in the Baltic countries and in Poland, Stoltenberg remains firm with the arrival of the extra forces.

"C & # 39; exactly what we focus on at this summit. We increase the readiness of forces, we call it a preparation initiative – 30 battalions, 30 squadrons of air force, 30 warships are ready to arrive within 30 days or earlier. Military mobility and the tripling of NATO's rapid reaction forces indicate that our ability to quickly move forces in Europe if necessary, "the media have already pointed out that Tramp's statements against Germany and" Nordstream "are motivated by the US desire to sell gas shelves for Europe."

Meanwhile, Tramps announced to leaders in other member states that they needed to increase their defense spending to 4% of Gross domestic product (GDP), rather than 2% of GDP agreed in advance.

"Presidential address today at the NATO summit suggested that member states not only respect their commitment to protect themselves from spending 2% of GDP but [norādīja] that they should increase their spending to 4%, "said White House spokeswoman Sara Sanders

. military spending growth It is estimated that the target of 2% of GDP currently set at 2024 will only reach half of the Alliance member states.

NATO The leaders of the member states also had the opportunity to discuss on Wednesday the new NATO building, which paid more than a billion euros, where the last delegations of the Member States met just a month ago.

You will stay at the top on Thursday.
