U.S. President Joe Biden and Western allies opened the first of three summits focused on increasing pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Biden and the leaders of other NATO countries met at the alliance's headquarters where they posed for a group photo memorializing the urgent gathering before retreating behind closed doors for their summit, which was expected to last several hours.
The bolstering of forces along NATO's eastern flank, almost certainly for at least the next 5-10 years if Russia is to be effectively dissuaded, will also put pressure on national budgets. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed calls to boycott Russian energy supplies, saying it would cause significant damage to his country's economy. Scholz is facing pressure from environmental activists to quickly wean Germany off Russian energy, but he said the process will have to be gradual.
Sullivan said that Biden and fellow leaders would aim to"set out a longer-term game plan" for what forces and capabilities are going to be required for the alliance's eastern flank countries. Biden, before departing for Brussels on Wednesday, told reporters that he believed the possibility of Russia deploying chemical weapons was a"real threat."
Speaking at the European Parliament ahead of Biden's visit, Ursula von der Leyen said the EU was seeking a a commitment for additional LNG supplies from the U.S."for the next two winters."
