NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced Thursday that allies will unveil tens of billions of dollars in new defense-related contracts at the Alliance’s upcoming summit in Ankara, where leaders are also expected to reaffirm support for Ukraine.
Speaking at the Atlantic Council, the NATO chief outlined the July 7–8 summit in Turkey as a test of whether allies can turn higher defense spending into real military production, while keeping long-term backing for Kyiv on the agenda.
“Tens of billions” of dollars in new defense-related contracts will be announced at the summit, Rutte stated.
The Ankara meeting is expected to highlight Europe’s push to expand its defense industrial base, increase ammunition and weapons production, and reduce long-standing capability gaps across the Alliance.
