Polish President Andrzej Duda said Monday that NATO must urgently ramp up its defense spending to ensure it does not become the next target of Russian aggression.
Citing unspecified German research, Duda said new evidence suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin is doubling down on his shift toward a war economy with a view to attacking NATO in 2026 or 2027. It follows Danish intelligence reports from February which suggested that Moscow could launch an attack on NATO withinDuda said it was therefore more critical than ever to ramp up the alliance's military investment, describing his increased spending targets as"common sense.
The Polish president, whose country shares a land border with Ukraine, has spearheaded calls to supply weapons to Kyiv since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion.During a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden last week, Duda called for NATO to raise its minimum military spending target to 3% of GDP to further strengthen the alliance's defenses.
"This Russian aggression has to be stopped at all cost. If it's not stopped it will spill over and then, I fear U.S money won't be enough to stop Russia, U.S. soldiers will have to step in and no one wants that," he added.
