NATO allies have pledged to raise defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, a major increase aimed at countering long-term threats, particularly from Russia and terrorism.
The updated goal includes allocating at least 3.5% to core defence needs and up to 1.5% for broader security expenses, such as protecting infrastructure and reinforcing the defence industry.
This shift comes amid what NATO described as “profound security threats,” with the alliance naming Russia as a persistent and long-term challenge to Euro-Atlantic stability, alongside ongoing terrorism risks. Progress toward the new target will be evaluated in 2029.
While allies reiterated their commitment to supporting Ukraine, the declaration omitted earlier references to potential NATO membership for Kyiv, reflecting a more cautious stance.
