Two new #Arctic members of @NATO, #Finland and #Sweden, add to #NATO capabilities in the region and help with #China, which views itself as a 'Near-Arctic' state. @jensstoltenberg @PolarInstitute

[Teri Schultz @terischultz]

Stoltenberg makes the case [again] to the US that it needs friends, reminding that the US is "big" but that the rest of #NATO together is bigger.

"Size matters," he says at @WilsonCenterGEP.

Another emphasis: per GDP European allies provide much more aid to Ukraine than US.

[Global Europe Program @WilsonCenterGEP]

At next month's #NATO Summit, Allies will make the case for the #Alliance along three major topics. 1) Deterrence and defense, 2) Ukraine (noted this is the most urgent), 3) global partnerships, especially with the Indo-Pacific.

[Global Europe Program @WilsonCenterGEP]

.#NATO is good for #US industry, creates jobs, and drives #economic growth. European equipment is largely purchased from US manufacturers.

GEP Chair Amb. Philip Reeker to @jensstoltenberg: Why does #Putin blame #NATO, a defensive #alliance, for war?

SG: #Ukraine was not a threat to Russia, this all began when Russia annexed #Crimea back in 2014.

[Global Europe Program @WilsonCenterGEP]

Two tasks for @NATO after Feb
2022: 1) support #Ukraine and 2) prevent the conflict from escalating.

[Global Europe Program @WilsonCenterGEP]

"No doubt that President #Putin is trying to re-establish a sphere of influence... however, there is no indication Putin is planning an attack on any #Ally country." - @jensstoltenberg at @TheWilsonCenter

[Teri Schultz @terischultz]

"Beijing can't have it both ways" -- supporting Russia but remaining cordial with the west, says #NATO chief Stoltenberg, speaking at @TheWilsonCenter in Washington.

"At some point unless China changes its course," he says, "allies need to impose a cost."

[Global Europe Program @WilsonCenterGEP]

'It is not written in stone that North America and #Europe will always stand together. But I am an optimist and believe they will always stand together. The #US is good for #NATO security, but NATO is also good for US #security.' - @jensstoltenberg @NATO at @TheWilsonCenter

[Global Europe Program @WilsonCenterGEP]

.#Ukraine cannot expect membership to @NATO at Washington Summit. Instead, it will be offered a bridge to deepen relations with #NATO.

@jensstoltenberg emphasized that all Allies must support Ukraine's membership. Removed MAP at last summit and created NATO-Ukraine Council.

[Global Europe Program @WilsonCenterGEP]

Amb. Philip Reeker: The stability and security of Article 5 is unprecedented in history. The success of @NATO is clear.

The @WilsonCenterGEP Global Europe Program is hosting Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s former defense minister who led Ukraine’s defense during the first year and a half of the war. A fascinating discussion -- and you can still tune in at https://t.co/1qcGLYdCNU

Citizens cannot be used as pawns in a geopolitical game. As we mark the 3rd anniversary of the Declaration against Arbitrary Detention, we re-affirm our commitment to ending this practice, which endangers all global citizens.

[Nicole Gaouette @WilsonCenterNG]

Ambassador David Hale closed the @WilsonCenterMEP event with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Qatar, saying their statements underscore “the awareness that the pre-October 7 world is done” and a new status quo is needed.

[Nicole Gaouette @WilsonCenterNG]

“That’s not the answer,” the Saudi FM says. “The answer is a ceasefire.”

[Nicole Gaouette @WilsonCenterNG]

An audience member asks the Arab leaders @WilsonCenterMEP’s event whether they would consider threatening military action against Israel. Saudi FM Prince Faisal says, “violence is not the answer and we are not going to get drawn into this cycle of threat - counter threat” 1/2
