NATO leaders are gathered in Turkiye’s capital Ankara against the backdrop of an increasingly challenging global security environment. Ukraine remains a central focus, but the agenda stretches well beyond the war, with discussions expected on strengthening Europe's defence capabilities, boosting military spending, and adapting the alliance to new security threats. Leaders are also looking at the industrial and logistical capacity needed to sustain future conflicts, including plans to extend NATO's fuel pipeline network further into Eastern Europe. The summit comes as European allies weigh the reliability of America's long-term security commitment, while countries such as Canada increase defence spending after years of missing NATO's targets.
