Earlier, Poland announced that it was studying the grounds for invoking Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. According to it, the parties "will hold joint consultations when, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened".

As Reuters notes, another meeting of NATO ambassadors was to be held on Wednesday.
