"It (Russia-Ukraine conflict) has bought cyber even more into the thinking of the alliance," he said, during a session at tech fair CeBIT in Germany.

"When you look at the events that have unfoldedcyber is prominent. We, at NATO, look at this phenomenon and we realise you have to deal with a range of capabilities also taking cyber into the account."

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been rumbling on since 2013. Crimea was annexed last year, and battles between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian separatists in the east of Ukraine have continued ever since.

During the conflict there have been a number of cyberattacks reported. Last year, computers in several Ukrainian government offices were infected with cyberespionage tools which appeared to be linked to Russia, while an attack on the German government's website earlier this year was attributed to a pro-Russian group.

In addition, North Korea was accused of carrying out a major hack on Sony, highlighting the increasing amount of state-backed cyberattacks.

Last year, Nato said that a cyberattack on a country could come under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which means it would be seen as an attack against the whole organization. This essentially treats a cyberattack the same as a traditional military assault.

Nato has been criticized in the past for being irrelevant, but Liflander refuted such claims, saying the organization was prepared to deal with hackers.

"When it comes to time, place and the specific tool that can be used, (Nato's) range is quite wide in order to deescalate the situation," he added.

Story highlights Russian military aircraft are intercepted by NATO jets NATO says the military aircraft weren't on a flight plan Russia is conducting military exercises

Estonian radar detected the aircraft over the Baltic Sea on Tuesday night, NATO said. Other than the lead aircraft, NATO said, none of the other Russian military aircraft was on a flight plan.

NATO sent jets to identify the planes and later reported that the military aircraft flew on into Russian airspace.

NATO didn't say how many Russian aircraft were involved. The flights come as Russia's Northern Fleet has been placed on full combat alert for military exercises involving nearly 40,000 troops and 50 warships.

The exercises have rattled nerves in nearby NATO states, including Latvia, where U.S. troops and equipment recently arrived for NATO training, and where fears are growing about Russian President Vladimir Putin's next move.

At the same time on Wednesday, Putin joined a celebration in Moscow's Red Square, where Russians celebrated the one-year anniversary of the annexation of Crimea.

NATO has condemned the annexation as an illegal territory grab and is boosting its troop presence in the region in what officials say is an effort to discourage Putin from encroaching into other countries.

Putin describes the annexation as a "reunification," saying that Crimea's residents overwhelmingly voted to be part of Russia.

CNN's Don Melvin and Catherine E. Shoichet contributed to this report.
