"NATO will continue to protect our populations and defend every inch of Allied territory at all times. We will do so in line with our 360-degree approach and against all threats and challenges," said the statement.

The remarks came after a recent terror attack on Istanbul's crowded Istiklal Avenue that killed at least six people and left 81 injured.

"Allies will assist Ukraine as it repairs its energy infrastructure and protects its people from missile attacks," said the joint statement.
