Amid an increasingly tense standoff in eastern Ukraine, NATO has sent personnel stationed at its Kiev mission to a city around 500km away to the west, as well as to the Belgian capital.
Speaking as part of an appearance on Ukrainian TV on Saturday, a spokesperson of the US-led military bloc’s Information and Documentation Center in the Eastern European nation, Oksana Musyienko, revealed steps the organization is taking to protect its staff.
“The safety of our personnel is paramount, which is why they have been relocated to Lviv and Brussels,” she said, adding that offices in the former Soviet Republic continue to work.
Lviv, regarded as a cultural capital, is a large city in the west of the country, close to the Polish border. It was previously known as Lemberg and Lwow, and was one of the strongholds of the 2014 Maidan protests.
According to Musyienko, “NATO and allied countries are monitoring and assessing the situation very closely and continue to take all of the necessary measures.”
