NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:
Europe, with the UK and Turkey and Norway, is over 500 million people. We are facing an adversary in Russia of about 120 to 140 million people.
And we are now overly dependent on one ally with about 350 million people, making sure that we can defend ourselves against Russia. That's not sustainable long term. And that one ally cannot keep explaining this to its own public.

✨Thank you for bringing the spirit of #Greece and the joy of #Greek tradition to the #EuropeDay celebrations! 🇪🇺
For Orthodox Easter, Russia proposed a ceasefire. Only to intensify its brutal attacks on Ukraine - almost 8,000 violations of the ceasefire they proposed.
Now, a ceasefire proposed only to guarantee a pause for their Red Square celebrations.
Today’s air strikes on Ukraine once again show Russia is not serious when it talks of ceasefire or peace.
The only way to stop human suffering and allow space for meaningful peace talks is to stop the killing immediately and agree a long-term ceasefire.
Today, our partner, the UAE, was once again the target of a vicious missiles and drone attacks originating from Iran.
I extend my full solidarity to @MohamedBinZayed, the people of the UAE, and our partners across the Middle East.
These attacks are unacceptable and constitute a clear violation of sovereignty and international law.
Security in the region has direct consequences for Europe.
So we will keep working closely with our partners on de-escalation and diplomatic resolution, to bring an end to the Iranian regime’s brutal actions.
Both against its neighbors and its own people.
NATO 3.0’s value proposition is about Allies stepping up and turning commitments into capabilities. That means frigates, submarines, airplanes, and more. And not just for the Alliance–for the United States of America.
Service agents evacuated President Trump from his table at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Cabinet secretaries also left the ballroom, according to witnesses.

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures.
The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation.
This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.
