The president of the United States defended this Tuesday that it is important that the Atlantic Alliance “remain united”, when for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, a victory would be “breaking NATO”.
“I think President Putin thinks that the way to win is to break NATO,” Joe Biden said as he arrived at LITEXPO in Vilnius, Lithuania, for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Summit.
Flanked by the organization’s secretary general, the president of the United States of America called on “NATO to stick together,” congratulating Jens Stoltenberg on continuing in office until October 2024.
“No one knows the situation we are in better than you,” he said when greeting the Secretary General of the Atlantic Alliance.
The NATO summit, which began today in Lithuania, focuses on supporting Ukraine against the Russian invasion and Sweden’s accession to the Atlantic Alliance, as well as strengthening the allies’ military assets against future threats.
Strengthening the Alliance’s deterrence and defense capabilities is one of the main themes of the summit, which brings together the 31 current members to consider a review of the military organization model and new regional plans, a plan whose relevance was strengthened by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Started in February of last year.
The summit will also serve to discuss the strengthening of investment by the allies, to respond to this plan, as well as to meet the needs of Ukraine in its war effort.
