Russia produces more weapons and ammunition in three months than NATO does in a year, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated on February 13 in Brussels, ahead of NATO Ministers of Defense meetings.
Rutte said: “We will discuss today the defence industrial base and how to produce more. We are not producing enough. And this is a collective problem we have, from the US up to and including Türkiye, and including the whole European Union, Norway, UK, we have fantastic defence industries, but we are not producing enough.”
He added; “No, I wanted to say Russia is producing in three months, what the whole of the Alliance is producing in the year, and this is simply not sustainable. We have to ramp up the defense industry production,” NATO Secretary General stressed.
Rutte also stated that today’s ministers’ meeting will include discussions on raising defense spending.
He further stated: “We have to spend more, not only because the US expects that, because they expect Europe to take its and pay its fair share, but also we have to spend more because we know the threat coming from Russia and from other adversaries is increasing.”
On February 12, US President Donald Trump declared that he does not believe Ukraine’s NATO membership is practicable, but that Washington will continue to provide assistance.
