Analysis: The war in Ukraine is a daily reminder of what Europe must do
As NATO leaders prepare for their summit in Ankara, Russia continues its attacks on Kyiv, causing significant casualties. The ongoing war in Ukraine serves as a constant reminder for NATO countries of the need to strengthen their defense and support for Ukraine. Within NATO, there is a transformation underway aimed at creating a more self-reliant European defense system while maintaining US nuclear protection. Discussions include increasing defense budgets and joint procurement efforts, partly to counterbalance former President Trump's demands for fairer cost-sharing. Tensions between Europe and the United States have risen due to Trump's actions, including his interest in Greenland and criticism of European policies. These tensions could lead to difficult discussions during the summit. Finland is represented by President Alexander Stubb, along with Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen and Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen.
