assembly and work with this. i'm glad to ensure speed, the ratification. i'm with up, i'm ready to take your questions. start with the, the associated press in the middle of the room here please. secretary general, you said holding quote from the associated press, you said in your opening remarks concerning is around the nation should try to take advantage to you. is that concerned among allies, the russian indeed might be trying to use this in an in what way do you feel that it may do that? thank. so the situation in the middle is there's no way to challenging on the of course, there's always respect a nation sort of organizations,

organizations hold on to it. so it will take time to take advantage. and that includes, for instance, a organizations like his bowl or a country like a wrong. so this is a message to congress on organizations holstein to, to increase on that they should not trying to utilize the situation on the united states have deployed or has deployed a more communicative forces in the region. and they'll please to a, the turn in the escalation on preventing escalation of the or the situation. so the gentleman in the 2nd row here playing some front. thank you. michel holmes thumbed august 8th. those 3 of them have a true christmas on the regional defense plants. how big problem is it that sweden is not yet an allied nations and cannot be included in the defense of northern

europe? and my 2nd question is, how was this discussed today by the ministers? thank you. so means there's expressed a strong support for us being throughout the vacation, all the swedish accession on the cold on those all of us will not be attracted by to do so. as quickly as possible, the 2 on so to get to rectify it so that those of it a and k message from all those i'll also cover will do i have to find a meaning uh uh, 29, although the 31 hours um and i also expressed up myself on the i also referred to the agreement. the meeting is where it will stay the stay to the to the uh were going to submit the accession papers on the work with the following month to um, to ensure rectification. so therefore,

i welcome that the funds spent so to you uh, states. it's clearly that turkey is found the bonds by the agreement in the list, including the, the need to, uh, to ensure ratification. um, uh so, so this will continue to be my message. i haven't spoken, i spoke recently with the present. the other one come by the same message on the line and will continue to compare the message on behalf of all those outlaws are called in for as be their application to ensure that that happens. as soon as, as, as possible. then we have to understand a sweetness of all of the very much integrates in tonight the politically but those submitted today on the, on the of course, even though they helped form, remember i'm kind of be formed into a to, into all over a structure is uh, the office that they participate in, they don't the meetings to the mentors, structures disobedient structures. and of course,

the fact that we have decided that the sweden has always been invited how's the state gives us an invite. he also makes it possible to take more and more into account when we do a planning when we develop public, happy to talk you so. so the fact that students reading will also be a member. so of course, we would like to find those this as soon as possible, but at the same time, sweetness come a very long way already and on their way to become a full member of the lots. go to the sky, please. and that was nato secretary general stone, mac is speaking very, let's go straight to w, corresponded to terry schultz standing by the, in brussels for us, terry. and they, and they told ministers with joined via video link by is ready to defense minutes that you of going to in this morning and got showed, i'm sense of the footage of a mazda atrocities. and these brought to the nature of ministers. how's the alliance reacting? it's a,

it's complicated for nato because you have one ally, turkey which does not consider him off a terrorist organization regardless of what the, as really defense minister may have shown. and so you can to get an, a statement from all 31 allies calling him off a tourist organization and demanding that it, that it behaved differently because turkey actually has relations with him off. so this is difficult for this is difficult for nato, under the circumstances. at the same time, we hear that turkey may be negotiating for hostages. that's a, i don't have a independent confirmation of that myself. but this of course, makes it a more nuanced situation for turkey. um, we understand that there were very strong calls by other allies, particularly of course, by the united states for whom israel is a, a major non nato ally, which is almost as, as high as you can get on the partnership level without actually being a nato ally of course, other countries as well,

calling very strongly on him off as a terrorist organization and hoping very much that natal would have been able to put out a stronger statement. now israel is, as you said, an alternate to a man, but what kind of support as is where they expect from nature as well, is real, is a partner of nato. that doesn't a warrant, any particular military response by nato allies. it certainly doesn't allow it to call on nato allies to come supported. but we have heard here at the meeting that many countries are sending israel support. of course, the united states has already moved the military assets into the mediterranean is and is continuing to do so. we will also hear from us defense secretary austin, after stilton berg finishes speaking, and i'm sure we'll hear more about us support, which is of course, where israel would be looking firstly for, for military support. but there are other allies also, of course, who lost citizens in the attack, who continued to have hostages being held there in this ongoing situation. so i

would say that attention here at nato headquarters is very much focused on this conflict at the moment. and also there was an incident with a pipeline, a gas pipeline between finland at stony uh, has uh, nato secretary general stop. meg said anything about that. another incident with the pipeline uh, between nato allies. that's right between filling in the stony of the baltic connector of finland is saying that it believes there was intentional damage done to this pipeline which carries a gas back and forth between filling done is tonia, but also to to other nato allies also to lot via so the, an investigation is underway by spanish authorities at the moment. what need it was saying is that there will be a nato response if it is found that there was a sabotage done purposely to this pipeline. but it's very early and been, was investigation at the moment to, to, for nato to, to make more specific. um, specific threats against, uh, whoever may have been responsible for this. now, with the attack on his route in the headlines, is there

a feeling with international support for you? crime could suffer, certainly president followed him. is it lensky who came here yesterday to nato headquarters? his 1st time at a meeting of the so called ramstein group? the group that coordinate support for ukraine, he of course, is worried that says support for his country will suffer even as he calls on all countries in the world to support israel at the same time as so yes, there was concern already before this other conflict broke out that there is don't or fatigue that countries are reaching the bottom of their stock pile. so to say, seeing the bottom of, of the closet. and so there was already a lot of concerned about this. but nato and the us in particular are saying they can do both, both support is real and support ukraine, and that's the refrain. we continue hearing here at nato headquarters is that both allies does. are there support w correspondent, terry shows that reporting from nature headquarters in brussels. thank you, terry. so that's it from me and then use
