"NATO Chief Emphasizes Defense Measures Amid Rising Tensions"

Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg warned that peace cannot be taken for granted amid rising threats from Russia, including the Kremlin's plans to deploy an anti-satellite weapon with nuclear capabilities. US officials have expressed concerns over Moscow's development of capabilities to disrupt global communications. Defence Secretary Grant Shapps announced the UK's plan to supply thousands of drones to Ukraine, while US House of Representatives' Mike Turner urged the Biden administration to declassify information on Russia's anti-satellite weapons. Nato has said Ukraine can become a member but has not confirmed when, and has not directly sent weapons to Ukraine, although several member countries, including the UK, US, and Turkey, have done so.
