He also welcomed Turkey's efforts to mediate between Moscow and Kyiv, and its deliveries of assistance to Ukraine as it resists the Russian invasion.

Mr. Stoltenberg underlined that at this dangerous moment Europe and North America stand united in NATO, and stressed that Turkey's strong leadership and commitment to NATO's collective security is highly valued.
