Statement by NATO Heads of State and Government
We call on all states, including the People’s Republic of China (PRC), to uphold the international order including the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, as enshrined in the UN Charter, to abstain from supporting Russia’s war effort in any way, and to refrain from any action that helps Russia circumvent sanctions. We are concerned by recent public comments by PRC officials and call on China to cease amplifying the Kremlin’s false narratives, in particular on the war and on NATO, and to promote a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
We remain committed to the foundational principles underpinning European and global security, including that each nation has the right to choose its own security arrangements free from outside interference. We reaffirm our commitment to NATO’s Open Door Policy under Article 10 of the Washington Treaty.
We will continue to take all necessary steps to protect and defend the security of our Allied populations and every inch of Allied territory. Our commitment to Article 5 of the Washington Treaty is iron-clad.
Anti-bellum 
The war in Ukraine was avoidable by detente; a huge amount of human suffering could have been avoided. The blame for the war in Ukraine is US’ inability to negotiate and come to an empathetic accommodation with Russia, and accept that we now live in a multipolar world where the idea of US hegemony is abhorrent. The major poles are Russia, China, USA, Europe and Africa. The US should accept this and humble itself in international affairs.

That’s not going to happen. The nature of the Western beast is to own and control everything in the planet.
