NATO wants to strengthen itself significantly

According to Secretary-General Stoltenberg, NATO plans to move more war-ready troops and equipment east of the alliance. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Stoltenberg is demanding more heavy weapons for Ukraine.

According to General Jens Stoltenberg, the decision to significantly strengthen the blocking and defense capabilities of allies at the NATO summit in Madrid. In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ability to defend and defend every inch of the alliance territory has already been strengthened, Norway said after talks with several NATO leaders and heads of government in The Hague. The next steps will be taken at the summit in Madrid at the end of June. According to Stoltenberg, there were discussions about the need to move more war-ready troops and equipment to the Eastern Alliance. In addition, further increasing the level of readiness of the troops was also an issue.

Stoltenberg did not give any details. Among other things, there is talk that a significant number of NATO troops will be stationed in the Eastern Alliance in the future than there were before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In addition, in the event of a concrete threat, structures must be set up that can further strengthen the forces on site.

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholes already announced last week that he would support German plans and expand its troop presence in Lithuania. In the country bordering the Kaliningrad region of Russia, the Bundeswehr is already engaged with more than 1,000 troops in defending the eastern part of NATO.

Stoltenberg also supported the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine. “Yes, Ukraine still has heavy weapons,” he said. “Because they rely entirely on it to defend themselves against the brutal Russian invasion.” The meeting in The Hague was hosted by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Danish Prime Minister Matteo Frederickson. Romanian President Glasse Iohanis, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Groo, Polish Prime Minister Matteo Moravici and Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa and Latvia’s Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins were invited.
