The NATO summit, held in the Hague (Netherlands), comes to an end with a final declaration committing the 32 Allied countries to investing “5% of GDP annually on core defence requirements as well as defence-and security-related spending by 2035” to ensure “individual and collective obligations, in accordance with Article 3 of the Washington Treaty”. The declaration, however, goes “silent” on certain points. Indeed, although, according to the declaration, “Allies reaffirm their enduring sovereign commitments to provide support to Ukraine”, there is no commitment to Ukraine’s future entry into NATO – a subject that was raised at the previous summit in Washington. There is also no mention of concrete financial commitments to support Kyiv. As a matter of fact, last year’s 40 billion pledge has now been replaced with vague “sovereign commitments”. As for the 5% GDP expenditure, it is confirmed that at least 3.5% of annual GDP will be spent on weapons over the next decade, while the remaining 1.5% will go to “security”. At the end of the summit, US President Donald Trump said: “I think the summit was fantastic. It was a big success”.
