The final declaration of the NATO Madrid Summit has been adopted.

APA reports that this was stated on the NATO website.

The declaration states that NATO is a defense alliance and does not pose a threat to any country: "NATO remains the foundation of our collective defense and an important forum for security consultations and decisions between allies."

NATO allies are said to be committed to democracy, individual liberty, human rights and the rule of law.

In the final declaration, the leaders of the allied countries "strongly condemn Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine," which seriously violates international security and stability.

"Russia has also deliberately exacerbated the food and energy crisis that has affected billions of people around the world through its military operations," they said.

The allies are working closely to support international efforts to secure Ukrainian grain exports and alleviate the global food crisis. "We will continue to stand up to Russia's lies and reject its irresponsible rhetoric," he said.

Russia must immediately stop this war and withdraw from Ukraine.

Belarus must end its involvement in this war. "

NATO allies say they are in full solidarity with the Ukrainian government and people in their heroic defense: "We reaffirm our unwavering support for Ukraine's territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, including its independence, sovereignty and territorial waters."

We welcome the efforts of all allies supporting Ukraine.


The Russian Federation is the biggest and most direct threat to the security of the Allies and to peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic space.

Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations continues to pose a direct threat to the security, international stability and prosperity of our peoples.

We categorically reject and strongly condemn terrorism.

"The Allies will continue to resolutely and unitedly oppose Russia's threats and respond to its hostile actions, and to fight terrorism in accordance with international law."

The final declaration describes cyber, space, hybrid and other asymmetric threats and the harmful use of emerging and dangerous technologies as threats: we face.

"Instability beyond our borders leads to illegal migration and human trafficking."

In its final declaration, NATO allies declare that NATO will respond to all threats and challenges and adapt to the new order:


"We will significantly strengthen our long-term deterrence and defense to ensure the security and defense of all Allies.

We will do so in accordance with our 360-degree approach to land, air, sea, cyber and space, and all threats and challenges. ”
