I am shocked by the terrorist attack at Moscow’s busiest airport. I strongly condemn this horrific act. I express my condolences to the families of those killed and injured and to the Russian people.

NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen

We are in this fight together.  This is why in the NATO-Russia Council we have to strengthen our cooperation in the fight against terrorism.

This is a common threat that we have to face united.  NATO expresses its solidarity with the Russian people and Government.
