NATO nations' leaders will agree at a summit on Thursday to agree on bolstering forces on the alliance's eastern flank, with the deployment of four new battle groups in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, NATO's secretary-general said.
"I expect leaders will agree to strengthen NATO's posture in all domains, with major increases in the eastern part of the alliance on land, in the air and at sea," Jens Stoltenberg told a news conference ahead of the summit in Brussels on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
