"Europeans are doing more for their collective security than just a few years ago," Stoltenberg said in a speech at the Wilson Center research group. NATO members agreed last year to spend at least 2% of their gross domestic product on defence. The surge in spending reflects the worries about the war in Ukraine.
"Shifting US administrations have had the absolutely valid point to say that US allies are spending too little," Stoltenberg told reporters."The good news is that’s changing." The prospect of Ukraine joining NATO has long been anathema to Putin. He offered last week to order an immediate cease-fire if Ukraine renounced plans to join the alliance.
