"Russia will remain a long-term threat." That's NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's strongest warning yet to Vladimir Putin. Days before the NATO Summit, Germany and NATO delivered a unified message directly aimed at Moscow.
What You Need To Know
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte declared that Russia will remain a long-term threat to Euro-Atlantic security, even after the Ukraine war ends.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz accused Moscow of being the only side refusing meaningful peace negotiations.
Merz said it is now up to Vladimir Putin to engage in talks and end the war in Ukraine.
Germany reaffirmed that NATO allies will continue supporting Ukraine and are preparing additional assistance.
The remarks come just days before the NATO Summit, where defence spending, Russia, Ukraine and European security will dominate discussions.
Germany also signaled a major military expansion while NATO called for faster weapons production and stronger deterrence against Russia.
As NATO leaders gather for one of the alliance's most important summits in years, the message from Berlin is unmistakable: pressure on Russia will continue, support for Ukraine remains firm, and Europe is preparing for a long-term security challenge.
