NATO Summit: Defense Spending and Ukraine's Struggles

This chapter examines the pivotal outcomes of a NATO summit in the Netherlands, where leaders committed to increasing defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, influenced by President Trump's demands. It addresses the implications of this decision, the ongoing support for Ukraine in light of the Russian invasion, and the complexities of military aid amidst personal narratives from a wartime journalist. The chapter highlights the emotional toll on families separated by conflict, particularly through the eyes of a journalist with a husband serving in Ukraine.
