"Disturbing geopolitical combination" of Putin and Trump poses security challenges for Europe - FT
A security crisis is brewing in Europe. In 2025, two dangerous elements may combine: the growing threat from Russia and the growing indifference of the United States and Donald Trump.
This is stated in the Financial Times article, Censor.NET reports.
It is noted that European countries need to urgently respond to this "disturbing geopolitical combination" and strengthen their own defence.
This includes increasing defence spending. It is also necessary to have a realistic understanding of what is really happening in Russia and the United States.
The publication recalls the words of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that "Russia's economy is on a military track".
"The danger is coming at us at full speed," he said. Rutte was one of those who called on NATO countries to rapidly increase defence production and "switch to a military mindset".
Christopher Cavoli, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, also warned of the danger of Russia. In particular, he said that Russia "has no intention of stopping in Ukraine".
