"NATO's Vilnius Summit: Escalating Measures Against Russia"

NATO is expected to announce plans to rapidly increase military spending, surge troops to Russia's borders, and intensify its involvement in the war in Ukraine at the upcoming summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of mining the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, although the International Atomic Energy Agency found no evidence of explosives. Some experts warn that the summit could be used as a pretext for NATO's direct intervention in the conflict, while a group of retired generals and foreign policy officials called on the US to back the military reconquest of Crimea. NATO is also planning to expand its troops on Russia's borders and set a minimum military spending requirement for member countries.
