The goal is that we're sending a message of unity, that we have solidarity within NATO. The Ukraine mission is not within the NATO context; it's bilateral, but at the same time we're working with our NATO partners, with the U.K., Poland, and the U.S. as well. Even though it may not be under NATO, it's the same nations. The message that we've consistently tried to send is that the illegal annexations of Crimea and what they're doing in Ukraine and Georgia are unacceptable, as are some of their other actions. NATO will always stand together, united. That's the message that we're sending.
We'll also always be open to dialogue, and we want to be able to de-escalate any time the situation arises. That's the goal of this, but we're not going to leave it just to a conversation. We need to make sure that we send a very strong and positive message, and that's what these missions are about.
