I assured him that Germany will remain the strongest donor,” Wadephul emphasized.<\/p>\n The future of the alliance<\/p>\n The German Foreign Minister acknowledged that discussions about a possible U.S. exit from NATO are causing concern<\/strong>, as the alliance is critical to the security of all its members.<\/p>\n “We have a common interest in ensuring Ukraine wins its military confrontation with Russia. We should not question all of this, but rather build on our successes,” the minister stated.<\/p>\n He also reminded about the recent expansion of the bloc with Sweden and Finland, as well as the willingness of member countries to invest 5% of GDP in their own defense capabilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The threat of NATO’s collapse and alternative alliances<\/p>\n It should be noted that recently the future of the alliance has come into question due to Washington’s radical position.<\/p>\n In particular, U.S. President Donald Trump officially stated that he is considering the possibility of withdrawing the country from NATO due to the bloc’s refusal to support the American operation in Iran.<\/p>\n In this context, retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg has already called for the creation of a new defense system involving trusted allies, including Ukraine.<\/p>\n At the same time, the European Union has begun developing backup defense plans in case the alliance collapses, where the Ukrainian state is also considered a key element of the new security architecture.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The alliance must unite despite Trump’s threats.
