Nato, which has already hugely increased its presence on its eastern borders since the start of the war, with about 40,000 troops spread from the Baltic to the Black Sea, agreed on Thursday to set up four new combat units in Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. More jets will be deployed, it added.
Nato would also not send troops or planes to Ukraine, Stoltenberg reiterated, as the alliance extended his mandate for a year until the end of September 2023. On Thursday, Nato extended secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg’s term in office for an extra year to help steer the 30-nation military alliance through the Ukraine crisis.
Johnson told LBC radio earlier that one option is to see if more can be done to prevent the Russian president from accessing his gold reserves, which could stop people buying Russian gold to convert it into hard currency.
