NATO prepares defensive military measures in response to invasion Russian drones in Poland to strengthen deterrence on the alliance's eastern flank. This is what he writes Bloomberg .

A political response will also be adopted to discuss personal issues, the source said. The first response was presented on Wednesday, when Secretary General Mark Rutte and other allied leaders condemned Russia's"reckless behavior."

The military response will be coordinated by NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Alexus Grinkiewicz, who is responsible for planning and conducting all of the alliance's military operations.

The source claims that NATO command is currently assessing the situation and determining what supplies, if any, will be needed. Hrynkevich stated:

"We have a lot more to do in the future. Currently, the alliance member countries are improving their weapons, which makes it possible to reduce the costs of conducting combat operations. We will continue to do this together with all the alliance countries."

He noted that the alliance "will draw conclusions, we will learn what we need to improve our position and confront these limited incursions."
