The North Atlantic Council reaffirmed NATO's commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), and declared its intention to maintain a nuclear alliance in a statement released on the occasion of the 11th Review Conference of this treaty.
As long as there is nuclear weapons, NATO will remain a nuclear alliance" - the document stated.
According to this document, NATO "emphasized its strong commitment to the full implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons", while considering it "the essential foundation of the global structure on non-proliferation and disarmament".
Also related to NATO, on April 21, Russian Ambassador to Belgium Denis Gonchar said that the US claim to Greenland has become a turning point that worsens relations within NATO while the Iranian conflict further exacerbates the situation.
According to Ambassador Gonchar, tensions between the US and other NATO members began to emerge when US President Donald Trump requested a fairer allocation of financial burdens from allies and forced allies to accept financial constraints at the NATO summit in The Hague in June 2025, i.e., requesting to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035.
The Russian diplomat said that the Greenland crisis has become a turning point. "The situation continues to worsen after the US and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran," Mr. Gonchar added.
