NATO meeting in Washington

Stoltenberg: NATO has become stronger - the world more dangerous

NATO has become stronger, and the world more dangerous. This is how Jens Stoltenberg summarizes his ten years in NATO in an interview with SR.

- NATO has carried out its biggest strengthening of the collective defense in several generations, he says to the radio.

The most important thing for NATO going forward is to continue the transition as the world changes, and to stay together, according to Stoltenberg.

The NATO summit in Washington was Jens Stoltenberg's last as Secretary General of the military alliance. The outgoing Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, succeeds Jens Stoltenberg as of October 1 this year.

"If Putin gets what he wants, the consequences will be enormous"

That the sanctions of the outside world actually bite Russia is of the utmost importance for the future of all of Europe. That's what top EU diplomat David O'Sullivan says in an interview with Politico.

He describes the issue as "existential" for Europe and says that the sanctions are not just about the EU.

- There are very good reasons for us to do this for our own sake. If Putin gets his way in Ukraine, the consequences will be enormous, says O'Sullivan.
