What does NATO say?
NATO stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and it represents a military alliance that has been around since 1949 when only 12 countries were members, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Franca, and the United States of America.
Over the years, a lot of countries joined NATO, such as Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovenia, and so many others, except Ukraine and Russia.
This alliance was created with the aim that they will come to rescue one another if one of them would ever be the victim of an armed attack. They began their activity in order to resist the hazard of post-war Russian enlargement in Europe.
In 1955, Russia wanted to give NATO a response, and they created their own military alliance, which was formed by the eastern European communist regions, called the Warsaw Pact.
