Nato needs a "quantum leap" in defence to deter threats to the alliance, its secretary general has said, as he called for Western allies to invest more in their armed forces.
In a speech in London, Mark Rutte said Russia could be ready to use military force against Nato within five years.
Rutte said Nato needed a "400% increase in air and missile" to credibly defend itself against attacks.
He said he expected Nato allies to agree to spend 5% of their national income on defence, at a summit in the Netherlands next week.
Rutte’s speech at Chatham House comes at a critical time for global security as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and China’s military expansion continues to raise questions about Nato’s capabilities and readiness for war.
