NATO marks its 75th anniversary of collective defense while Russian troops gain control in Ukraine. The alliance considers providing long-term military support to Ukraine.
Two military personnel stand underneath the flags of NATO alliance members during wreath laying ceremony at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Thursday, April 4, 2024. NATO celebrates on Thursday 75 years of collective defense across Europe and North America as Russia ’s war on Ukraine enters its third year.
“Ukraine is under heavy attacks, like daily, 24-seven,” Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna told reporters, appealing for more military materiel for Ukraine like air defense systems, drones and artillery shells. Sweden’s foreign minister, Tobias Billström, is taking part in the first ministerial-level meeting since his country became NATO’s 32nd ally last month. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 drove Sweden and Finland into NATO’s arms.
That promise—Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which has been shipped to Brussels for the ceremony—stipulates that an attack on any one of their number must be met with a united response. It’s only ever been used once, after the Al-Qaeda attacks on US soil in 2001. At the other end of the scale lies the operation in Afghanistan. NATO took command of the security effort in 2003 and it became the longest, costliest and deadliest in alliance history. It was marked by a chaotic retreat in August 2021, many of the successes over almost two decades abandoned.
NATO allies cannot agree on whether to arm Ukraine either. As an organization, the alliance only provides non-lethal support like transport vehicles, fuel, combat rations, medical supplies and demining equipment. However, many members provide arms and ammunition bilaterally or in groups.
