NATO Could Trigger Article 5 in Case of Alleged Russia's Cyberattack - Reports

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Article 5 of the Washington Treaty established the principle of collective defense among the bloc's member states in case of an attack against one of the allies, which then be considered as an attack against all the allies.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview released on Monday that the bloc might invoke Article 5 on collective defense in case of a cyberattack carried out by Russia.

"Not automatically. It depends on the character of the cyberattack… We will never be specific on when we trigger Article 5," Stoltenberg told Axios news portal answering a question about whether the article might be applied in case of Russia's possible cyberattack.

Stoltenberg added that the alliance had been boosting its cybersecurity and planned to develop offensive cyber capabilities.

In July, NATO said in a statement following the summit in Brussels that in case of a hybrid war the bloc would trigger its Article 5 on collective defense.

NATO allies have been boosting their cooperation in the defense area for years. Particularly, since 2008, they have been holding the major Cyber Coalition cyberdefense exercise. However, the alliance's member states first recognized cyberspace as an operational domain joining land, air, and sea at their summit in Warsaw in 2016.

Last year, Stoltenberg announced that the NATO defense ministers had agreed on instituting a new adaptive command structure to improve the alliance’s ability to move troops across Europe. They also decided to set up a Cyber Operations Center to adapt to the changing security environment.

NATO reportedly invoked Article 5 for the first time in its history after 9/11 terrorists attacks against the United States.

Denuclearization to Become Key Issue at Moon-Kim Summit - Official

TOKYO (Sputnik) - The denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula will become a central theme of the bilateral negotiations between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in on Tuesday and Wednesday, Im Jong-seok, the chief of staff of the South Korean president, said on Monday.

"Just until recently, denuclearization had been an agenda item for talks between the North and the United States… Now, denuclearization is a key issue [at the inter-Korean summit]… This issue cannot be discussed at the working level and even if it is discussed [at the working level], no agreement can emerge from such talks," Im said as quoted by the Yonhap news agency.

The intra-Korean summit will be held in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang on September 18-20.

The South Korean president is expected to use a direct flight to travel to Pyongyang. According to media reports, the South Korean president will be accompanied by the heads of the country's major corporations, including Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor Company, SK Group and LG Corporation.

The first meeting of the two leaders was held at the Panmunjom truce village on April 27. Less than in a month the two counterparts met once again. The forthcoming meeting is expected to be devoted to the issues relating to the implementation of the declaration signed at Panmunjom.
