NATO

organization

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance established in 1949, comprising 31 member countries from North America and Europe. Its primary purpose is to ensure collective defense and security among its members, particularly in response to aggression. In the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, NATO plays a crucial role in providing support and security guarantees to Ukraine, as well as coordinating responses to Russia's military actions in the region. The alliance emphasizes the importance of international law and sovereignty, particularly concerning disputed territories like Crimea.
