Ukraine war: NATO urges allies to boost defence spending

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has called on the alliance’s member states to invest more in defence spending as Russia’s war in Ukraine continues.
“It is obvious that we need to spend more,” Stoltenberg said after a meeting with NATO defence ministers in Brussels.
He added that member states should commit to spending a minimum of two percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on defence. NATO leaders agreed in 2014 to move towards meeting that spending target within a decade.
Jens Stoltenberg made the plea on the second day of a NATO summit in Brussels.
