"NATO's Response to the Ukraine Invasion: A Game-Changer for Defense Plans"

NATO leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, have endorsed a major overhaul of the alliance's defense plans in response to potential Russian attacks, inspired by Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The new plans outline which member countries would be called upon to respond to an attack in various regions, from the Arctic to the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The aim is to significantly improve NATO's ability to deter and defend against threats, with up to 300,000 troops ready to move to the eastern flank within 30 days. However, concerns remain about the willingness of member countries to commit troops, and political decisions still require consensus among all 31 allies.
