Following Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, NATO reinforced its presence in the eastern part of the Alliance, establishing new multinational battlegroups in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. This decision is part of a package of measures aimed to strengthen NATO’s deterrence and defence posture in light of the changed security environment. France leads the NATO multinational battlegroup in Romania. The gravity of the moment is not lost on the soldiers, several of whom said that it makes otherwise ordinary training exercises feel more significant. Since May 1, 2022, the multinational battlegroup was set up with France as the framework nation supported by an alternating company of either Belgian or Dutch troops. It is part of the four additional battlegroups deployed by NATO to its Eastern flank along with Slovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel http://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News http://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History http://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: http://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: http://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: http://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: http://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: http://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #WeAreNATO Tue, 09 Jun 2026 09:45:02 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.home.franssen.xyz https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/videos/watch/4759972d-174e-45fd-8ea8-52a1a07e4f2b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
