NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned on Monday that Russia was \u201ctrying to destabilise\u201d countries in the Alliance as he called on members to increase defence spending. \u201cTo guarantee our security in the future we also need to ramp up our efforts now,\u201d Rutte said in a joint briefing alongside Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, as he visited Lisbon on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also know that the goal of 2%, now set a decade ago, will not be enough to meet the challenges of tomorrow. The threat from Russia may seem distant, but let me assure you it is not,\u201d he said as he warned against Russian threats to Portuguese territory. \u201cRussian ships and long range bombers menace the Portuguese coast. Portugal\u2019s fragile undersea infrastructure is squarely in Russia\u2019s sights,\u201d claimed Rutte.<\/p>\n<p>PM Montenegro said his government is willing to reinforce its investment in defence but said that there must be European coordination regarding defence investment. The alliance chief also addressed recent cable ruptures in the Baltic Sea. \u201cJust yesterday we saw another incident in the Baltic Sea with disruption to a cable connecting Latvia and Sweden. The good news is through mission Baltic Sentry, NATO\u2019s ships and aircraft are operating alongside our allies over there, enabling a fast, coordinated response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That rupture followed a string of incidents that heightened fears of Russian sabotage and spying the strategic region. Earlier this month, NATO began a new mission dubbed \u201cBaltic Sentry\u201d which included frigates, maritime patrol aircraft and a fleet of naval drones to provide \u201cenhanced surveillance and deterrence\u201d in the Baltic Sea which the transatlantic alliance says is to protect undersea cables and pipelines. Following his conversation with Portugal\u2019s leader, Rutte travelled to Spain to meet with its prime minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/01\/27\/nato-chief-says-russia-trying-to-destabilize-our-countries-and-calls-for-more-defence-spen\">Euronews MyEurope<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/nato-chief-says-russia-trying-to-destabilize-our-countries-and-calls-for-more-defence-spending\/\">NATO chief says Russia \u2019trying to destabilize our countries\u2019 and calls for more defence spending<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,17724,588],"class_list":["post-136898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-nato-chief","tag-russia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136898\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
