NATO ups chemical, nuclear defenses for troops in Eastern Europe

NATO is stepping up chemical and nuclear defenses for its forces in Eastern Europe in the face of fears over Russia’s war on Ukraine, alliance head Jens Stoltenberg says.

“Our top military commander General Wolters has activated NATO’s chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense elements, and allies are deploying additional chemical and biological and nuclear defenses to reinforce our existing and new battle groups,” Stoltenberg tells journalists after a NATO summit in Brussels.
