Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum releases Policy Memorandum on NATO security policy concerning Russian military intervention in UkraineTagged under The Steering Committee of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum has released a policy memorandum on NATO security policy concerning Russian military intervention in Ukraine. According to the memorandum, diplomatic measures and sanctions must be accompanied by strategic deterrence to protect NATO members and to support independence of NATO neighbours. Priority steps should include strategic plans to address swiftly worst-case scenarios of escalation of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, and a clear commitment by NATO to support the democratic development of Ukraine, and to prevent military conflict in Europe (NATO members and NATO’s neighbours). The members of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum have called upon NATO and NATO members to prioritise support for democracy, human rights, human security, and the rule of law in the region, and engage with the governments of Ukraine, Republic of Moldova and Georgia with a view to agreement on new security pacts between NATO and Eastern Partner countries in order to safeguard fundamental freedoms, democracy, stability, and the rule of law. |
