Thousands of troops deployed to eastern Europe - Stoltenberg
Jens Stoltenberg is addressing how many Nato troops have been deployed to eastern Europe.
"We are deploying the Nato response force for the first time in a collective defence context. We speak about thousands of troops. We speak about air and maritime capabilities," he tells reporters.
"Several allies have already assigned troops and forces to the Nato response force," he adds.
"We have the high readiness force, the Nato response force, and that is why we are deploying it. To prevent any misunderstanding that we are not prepared to protect all allies," Stoltenberg says.
He adds that Europe is focussing on strengthening its cyber defence.
Nato response force deployed - Stoltenberg
Nato's Stoltenberg tells reporters that Nato has deployed elements of its rapid response force on land, sea and in the air to eastern Europe.
He says that the security bloc has "already strengthened our defence" and that the US, Canada and European countries have already deployed thousands of troops to the region.
More than 100 fighter jets are now operating in 30 defence locations in Europe, accompanied by more than 120 ships and three strike carrier groups, Stoltenberg says.
He emphasises that the forces will defend "every inch of Nato territory" and adds that it will continue to offer support to Ukraine, as well as other nations in the region threatened by Russia - including Georgia, Moldova and Bosnia.
It's important to note that Nato has already been very clear it won't send troops to Ukraine, which is not a member of the alliance.
