David Muniz: NATO has never been stronger. NATO will not bow down

Published on

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has never been stronger than in this period, said, on Tuesday, Charge d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Bucharest David Muniz, at the international conference „Romanian Military Thinking 2022”, according to Agerpres.

The US official said that Putin and the world now see that NATO has never been stronger. NATO will not bow down. No way. And peace-loving countries will continue to support and help our Ukrainian friends. We live in dark times. But, in our efforts to restore international order in the region, what helps us is that we do it together.

He congratulated the Romanian Government, emphasizing that Romania is in a critical place, in a critical space, and its help is essential and it should be very proud of what it has achieved.

Today we are constantly reminded that there is no more peace in the region and we are reminded why NATO is necessary, he said.

We wake up every morning here, at the gates of Europe, on the Eastern border of the Alliance, and we see what was unthinkable for many of us a year ago. Everything changed on February 24. The worst and most deprived of discipline elements of the Russian war machine were unleashed on the continent in places that will be associated with massacres of innocent people and are again in the news: places like Odesa, Mariupol, Kyiv and others. Much of Ukraine today looks as it looked like under Wehrmacht occupation in 1943. Russia has managed to add new names to the blacklists of our collective memory, alongside Babyn Yar and Katyn. The Russian barbarities of Bucha and Borodyanka are now known, the US official detailed.

David Muniz said that „Moscow’s war has seriously destabilized the Black Sea region, and now it has spread to threaten Europe and the world, like an echo of the 40s”.

We have been set back 80 years by a country that ignores the international order, violates many treaties. (…) Russia has shown the world that its troops are incapable of understanding the laws of war and are too demoralized to avoid committing war crimes, the US diplomat pointed out.
