NATO’s Big Message to Moscow | NATO DEMANDS 40,000 More German Troops As Russia Threat Grows

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently. #NATO #Germany #MilitaryReadiness #DefenseSpending #RussiaThreat #UkraineWar #TroopIncrease #GermanArmy #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryNews #Geopolitics #TrumpNATO #BrigadeBoost #NATO130Brigades #MilitaryAlliances #LithuaniaDeployment #WarPrep #DefenseBudget #RuttePlan #NATOExpansion Also Read Germany: Knife Attack At Train Station In Hamburg City, 12 Injured, 3 Critical :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-knife-attack-at-train-station-in-hamburg-city-12-injured-3-critical-4162369.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Backs India’s Right To Self-Defence After Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-backs-india-s-right-to-self-defence-after-pahalgam-terror-attack-4162141.html?ref=DMDesc Over 3400 Flights Cancelled, Thousands Of Passengers Stranded Due To German Airport Association Workers' Strik :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/over-3400-flights-cancelled-thousands-of-passengers-stranded-due-to-german-airport-association-work-4092803.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

‘NATO a DYSFUNCTIONAL Family’ | Allies clash over Defence spending over Russia’s Baltic Sea threat

NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region. #NATO #BalticSea #DonaldTusk #RussiaThreat #HybridWarfare #UnderseaCables #NATOCrisis #DefenceSpending #NATODivide #Lithuania #Poland #TrumpDefensePlan #SecurityCrisis #Geopolitics #RussianNavy #NATOTensions #DysfunctionalNATO #TrumpPolicy #5PercentDefense #BalticSecurity #MilitarySpending #EasternEuropeSecurity #HybridConflict #WesternEurope #RussiaWatch #GlobalSecurity Also Read US-Europe Divide Deepens Over Ukraine As Trump Challenges NATO's Approach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-europe-divide-deepens-over-ukraine-as-trump-challenges-natos-approach-4080283.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Willing To Step Down If It Secures Ukraine's NATO Membership: 'Immediately' If Necessary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-willing-to-step-down-if-it-secures-ukraines-nato-membership-immediately-if-necessary-4078905.html?ref=DMDesc NATO Increases Baltic Sea Patrols as Finland Investigates Possible Sabotage of Undersea Cables :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nato-enhances-baltic-sea-patrols-amid-sabotage-probe-011-4027881.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.122~

NATO Allies Bows To Trump’s 5% Defence Spend Target Demand, Says US Defence Chief Hegseth

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability. #NATO #TrumpDefenseDemand #PeteHegseth #5PercentGDP #DefenseSpending #NATOSummit #MarkRutte #MilitaryBudget #GlobalSecurity #USDefense #EuropeanSecurity #HagueSummit #TrumpPolicy #NATOTargets #PentagonNews #MilitaryStrategy #EasternEurope #HardPower #NATOCapability #NATOGDPGoal Also Read Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

Mark Rutte’s Flip-Flop Game on Ukraine’s NATO Membership EXPOSED! |Critics SLAM NATO’s Mixed Signals

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has declared Ukraine's path to NATO membership “irreversible.” But this bold statement comes after months of wavering remarks from both Rutte and other Western leaders, who had earlier ruled out such a move. Critics argue that the alliance’s indecisiveness is dragging the war on, giving mixed signals to both Kyiv and Moscow. As Ukraine fights to survive, NATO's promises remain non-committal, raising questions about whether the “irreversible” path is real or rhetorical. Ukraine’s future hangs between hope and hesitation. #UkraineNATO #MarkRutte #NATOChief #UkraineWar #NATOExpansion #Zelensky #EasternEurope #SecurityCrisis #GlobalPolitics #Kyiv #Putin #RussiaUkraine #AlliancePolitics #UkraineNews #NATOSummit #RutteSpeech #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #InternationalRelations #WorldNews Also Read Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc Putin, Trump Will Speak On Tuesday About The War In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-trump-will-speak-on-tuesday-about-the-war-in-ukraine-4097635.html?ref=DMDesc An Uncertain Peace: How Trump And Putin Plan To End The Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/an-uncertain-peace-how-trump-and-putin-plan-to-end-the-ukraine-war-4096855.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~ED.420~GR.124~
