US EditionAt commemoration of Dayton Peace Accords, NATO leader urges military spending to counter Russia
- Delegates from NATO member states wrapped up a five-day meeting in Dayton, Ohio, on May 23, 2025, commemorating three decades since the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords.
- The meeting occurred amid Russia’s three-year war in Ukraine and an unprecedented drone offensive, prompting calls to increase military spending among NATO members.
- NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte urged member leaders to advocate for higher defense budgets, noting that some countries have not yet reached the 2% of GDP target set in 2023.
- Currently, 22 of 32 NATO countries meet the 2% GDP defense spending goal, and members will debate raising it to 3.5% plus an additional 1.5% for projects like roads and cybersecurity next month.
- The discussions suggest a possible agreement to increase defense spending up to 5% of GDP over the next few years to counter Russian aggression and ensure European and global stability.
