NATO Secretary General with the Chancellor of Germany 🇩🇪 Olaf Scholz, 26 APR 2024

Joint press statements by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg with the Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, 26 April 2024.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
Chancellor Scholz, dear Olaf,
It’s great to be back in Berlin and to once again meet with you.
And thank you for your warm welcome.
And thank you also for your leadership and personal commitment to our transatlantic alliance.
Germany makes major contributions to our shared security.
You are strengthening your presence in the eastern part of the Alliance, deploying a brigade to Lithuania.
Your jets are patrolling the Baltic skies.
And Germany has committed 12,000 troops to Steadfast Defender, the largest NATO exercise since the Cold War.
Your historic and very important Zeitenwende has led to major increases in defence spending.
The fact that Germany now invests 2 percent of GDP in defence matters for all Allies.
Moreover Germany shows its leadership in the support for Ukraine.
Germany is the biggest European contributor of military aid to Ukraine.
You just decided to send a third Patriot system to Ukraine.
And I strongly believe that other Allies should follow the example of Germany.
Therefore, I also welcome that other Allies are doing more. The U.S. has approved a new package of aid.
The UK, the Netherlands, and others have announced additional major contributions.
It is our responsibility to turn these contributions into deliveries, quickly.
We must also remain vigilant regarding covert Russian activities across the Alliance.
Last week, Germany arrested individuals accused of espionage and sabotage.
And today, in the United Kingdom 5 individuals have been charged in connection with hostile state activity to benefit Russia.
NATO Allies stand in full solidarity with Germany and the United Kingdom.
Such acts are dangerous and unacceptable.
They will not deter us from providing support to Ukraine.
And we are coordinating closely in our response to any hostile act against NATO Allies.
So Chancellor Scholz, dear Olaf,
Thanks so much for welcoming me once again.
I look forward to our conversation.
Thank you.

Why do you never see Jens Stoltenberg commenting from Spain, Italy or Greece? From the outside, it seems that these 3 countries only think about themselves and will not make a joint contribution to Ukraine, for example. 3 reasonably large countries in Europe where radio silent is what you experience.
