NATO countries have agreed to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP. This should have a positive impact on further cooperation with Ukraine.
Political scientist and executive director of the International Association of Small Communities Alexey Buryachenko told Channel 24 about this. According to him, it seems that the system of assistance for Ukraine from European NATO countries will change significantly.
What are the results of the NATO summit?
As Buryachenko noted, the NATO summit in The Hague was truly successful for Europe. The political rhetoric of both the Alliance representatives and President Volodymyr Zelensky was largely through the prism of joint development of militaristic capabilities.
We take into account the EU Defense White Paper presented by Ursula von der Leyen. And also the increase in defense spending to 5%. At the same time, the emphasis will not just be on weapons, but on institutional directions. All this looks like an agreed position between NATO countries and Ukraine. This is an interesting structure that few people paid attention to. It says that the system of assistance from NATO countries to Ukraine will change, Buryachenko said.
Previously, Europe paid much less attention to security issues. They have a gap that can be filled together with Ukraine. Therefore, they will invest in the development of joint enterprises with our state. And this meets the interests of Ukraine.
Let's add that President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Donald Trump at the NATO summit. It is already known what they discussed.
