Euronews Portugal10 September 2026 at 16:28

The NATO Secretary-General, Mark Rutte, and the German Foreign Minister, Wadephul, met in Berlin for an ambassadors' conference focused on NATO security. During the event, both warned of the threat posed by Russia, emphasizing the need for vigilance and preparation on the part of allies.

The conference addressed three main themes: NATO security, continued support for Ukraine, and hybrid attacks carried out by Russia. Rutte and Wadephul agreed that these issues represent significant challenges for European stability and the transatlantic alliance.

Both officials highlighted the importance of a strong and united Europe in the face of external threats. The common message was that European countries must remain cohesive and strengthen their defense capabilities to face the current geopolitical context.

The joint warning from Rutte and Wadephul comes at a time when tensions between NATO and Russia remain high, and hybrid attacks are increasingly a concern for the intelligence services of the alliance's member countries.
