NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that the alliance still considered Crimea a territory of Ukraine and urged Russia to give the territory back.
"All NATO allies made clear that we condemn the illegal and illegitimate annexation of Crimea and that the allies will not recognize it," he said at a press conference in Brussels on Tuesday.
