"This summit
comes at a crucial time for the alliance, as the tectonic plates of
Euro-Atlantic security have shifted both in the East and the South," the
alliance said in a statement, referring to Russia 's
actions in Ukraine
and the threat presented by the Islamic State.
At its last summit
in 2014 in Newport , Wales ,
the alliance approved wide-ranging plans to boost its defenses in eastern
Europe, aiming to reassure allies nervous about Russia 's
intervention in Ukraine
that NATO will shield them from any attack.
Earlier this month,
Poland and the Baltic states said they were seeking permanent NATO
deployments on their soil to counter increased Russian military activity, and a
Polish internal document suggested the matter may be raised at the summit.
