00:25My conversations with leaders in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia focused on NATO's response to the reckless and dangerous act that occurred in Poland earlier this week.
00:36I am incredibly proud of our response. It was decisive and it was effective.
00:42And it speaks to the capability and professionalism of 32 allies working together.

01:13General Ginkiewicz and I are here to announce that NATO is launching Eastern Central to bolster our posture even further along our Eastern flank.
01:23This military activity will commence in the coming days and will involve a range of assets from allies including Denmark, France, United Kingdom, Germany and others.
01:33In addition to more traditional military capabilities, this effort will also feature elements designed to address the particular challenges associated with the use of drones.
01:45Eastern Central will add flexibility and strength to our posture and make clear that as a defensive alliance we are always ready to defend.
