NATO's Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, stated in an interview for Radio Romania, that if Russia or anyone else would attack a NATO member state, the Alliance would offer effective defence and protection.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that Russia's actions in Ukraine have determined a new security situation in Europe and so, at NATO's summit in September, the Alliance will take further steps such as updating its existing defence plans, developing new defence plans, enhanced military exercises and appropriate deployment.

NATO's SG also said that the Alliance has to adapt to Russia's new type of sophisticated war of subversive actions in states that Moscow wants to destabilize.
