NATO Leaders Meet In Warsaw

DW: NATO leaders meet in Warsaw for key military summit

Russia is an "integral part of European security," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in Poland. The alliance is set to approve the largest military build-up in easterm Europe since the end of the Cold War.

The NATO summit opened with the alliance's chief Jens Stoltenberg and Polish President Andrzej Duda addressing the public in Warsaw on Friday.

NATO members are to discuss a response to what they see as aggressive Russian actions in eastern Europe, specifically in Ukraine. Poland and other eastern NATO members have demanded more NATO involvement close to Russian borders.

On Friday, Stoltenberg said NATO had stepped up its capabilities in response to the alleged Russian threat.

"We have launched a wholesale reform and reinforcement to our collective defense and deterrence - the biggest since the end of the Cold War," he said. "The NATO response force is now three times bigger, with a brigade-sized spearhead force at its core, able to move within days."
