NATO is keeping our people safe today. But what about tomorrow? We need to invest more now in our defence.
Synopsis
Our society is currently facing an unprecedented number of threats to freedom and security, including cyber attacks, hybrid threats, terrorism and the war raging at our doorstep. What is happening in Ukraine could happen on NATO territory, and while NATO stands ready to defend against these threats now, we need to be ready to safeguard our freedom and our security in the future as well.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, NATO Allies have increased investments in defence production. They ramped up their defence industrial capacity and replenished stockpiles that have been used on their support to Ukraine. But this is not enough to keep being safe in the years to come.

NATO Allies need to invest more, better and faster and they need to spend more on modern capabilities. It is only with a strong defence that NATO can keep its people safe in a free society.
