The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU) have pledged to strengthen their cooperation as the war launched by Russia in Ukraine threatens security in Europe, according to a joint statement consulted by Agence France-Presse on Monday.

Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, European Council President Charles Michel and Commission President Ursula van der Leyen are due to sign on Tuesday.

Both companies are committed to bringing their partnership to fruition “at a high level” and must mobilize “All the combined instruments at our disposal, political, economic or military, to pursue our common objectives for the benefit of our billion citizens”.

Twenty-one of the EU’s twenty-seven member states are already part of NATO. Two others, Sweden and Finland, intend to join them, but Turkey and Hungary continue to oppose it.
