Ahead of NATO’s 75th summit in Washington later this year, Dr Benedetta Berti, (Head of Policy Planning, Office of the Secretary General, NATO) outlines some agenda headlines:

1️⃣ Deterrence and defence
2️⃣ Support for Ukraine
3️⃣ Strengthening partnerships

'Our message to the [western] societies - what you've enjoyed over decades can be called 'spoiled with security'. Why not learn from Ukrainians? Don't take it for granted.

Protect yourselves now, because tomorrow might be too late.'

Ivanna Klympush 🇺🇦 at #CHSecDef Chatham House Events

‘We are not on the cusp of war with Russia. We are not about to be invaded. Britain is safe. We are safe because we are part of NATO and because we are a responsible nuclear power.’

Thanks Chatham House for good discussion, incl priorities for #NATO Washington summit: Alliance unity; strengthening deterrence & defence, with more investment & industrial production; more support for Ukraine; & working w/ global partners to address new security challenges
