In a press briefing Thursday, Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of NATO, confirmed NATO has no plan to send alliance troops into Ukraine.

"There are no NATO combat troops, no NATO troops at all inside Ukraine. We have made it clear that we don't have any plans and intention of deploying NATO troops to Ukraine," Stoltenberg said.

He added, "What we have made clear is that we have already increased and we are increasing the presence of NATO troops in the eastern part of the alliance on NATO territory."
