(26 Mar 2014) During a meeting with NATO's Secretary-General on Wednesday, US President Barack Obama stressed the importance of the organisiation in the wake of the Ukrainian crisis.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, head of NATO, the alliance born as a bulwark against the Soviet Union, welcomed the steps US has taken since the crisis began.
He also called the Russian military actions in Ukraine "reckless and illegal".
