"NATO Urged to Prepare for Unforeseen Events in Ukraine, Says Top Military Official"

The chair of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, urged Western armies and political leaders to change their approach in helping Ukraine defend against invading forces, emphasizing the need to plan for the unexpected. NATO is set to conduct its largest military exercises in Europe since the Cold War, with the UK committing 20,000 troops and advanced military assets. Amid concerns over ammunition stockpiles, Norway announced a $192 million investment to boost defense industry production capacity. Bauer highlighted the long-term support for Ukraine and emphasized that the war is driven by Russia's fear of democracy, rather than a real security threat.
