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.

‘Kyiv Will Not Accept….’ Zelensky BLASTS Russia’s ‘Peace Memorandum’ | Russia-Ukraine War Latest

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation. #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Putin #RussiaUltimatum #UkraineTerritories #Ceasefire #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Kyiv #IstanbulTalks #RussianAggression #UkrainianSovereignty #EU #NATO #PrisonerSwap #Trump Also Read Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc 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 ~HT.336~
