NATO to Boost Air Defenses Amidst Russian Drone Attacks: Urgent Meeting Scheduled

NATO to Discuss Defense Spending Hike Amidst Russian Aircraft Drone Attacks NATO defense ministers are set to meet in Brussels on June 5th for crucial talks on increasing defense spending, with a particular focus on bolstering air defenses. This meeting comes ahead of the NATO summit on June 24-25th, where the alliance's 32 heads of state and government, including US President Donald Trump, will finalize a new spending target. The urgency of the situation is underscored by recent drone attacks on Russian aircraft, as reported by Realitatea Plus. "These attacks highlight the need for stronger air defenses," explains a defense analyst. The Kremlin has confirmed that President Vladimir Putin has been briefed on the incident. NATO is calling for a fivefold increase in European air defense capabilities. However, the US Secretary of Defense will be absent from the June 5th meeting, adding another layer of complexity to the discussions. The upcoming summit promises significant decisions shaping the future of European security.
