“We see in Ukraine how Russia delivers terror from above, so we will strengthen the shield that protects our skies,“ the NATO secretary general Rutte was to say in a speech to the Chatham House think-tank in London, according to comments released in a statement.
“The fact is, we need a quantum leap in our collective defence,“ he was to say.
His comments come ahead of a NATO summit in the Netherlands this month.
He is pushing NATO members to increase their defence spending to five percent of their gross domestic product (GDP), up from the current target of two percent.
NATO members have been scrambling to bolster their defence capabilities since Russia launched its war against Ukraine in February 2022.
“We must have more forces and capabilities to implement our defence plans in full.”

“NATO has to become a stronger, fairer and more lethal alliance,“ Rutte will add.
