NATO Secretary General doorstep at the Munich Security Conference, 13 FEB 2026

Doorstep statement by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the Munich Security Conference, 13 February 2026. 🗣 | NATO Secretary General: Good to see you all. And I’m happy to be back in Munich at this important conference. As you know, yesterday we had the Defence Ministers session with NATO, and there was a real shift in mindset. As you know, we are investing more in NATO, all over NATO territory, the Europeans now, all – and Canada – on 2%, and we agreed, of course, in The Hague, at the successful Summit, to reach the 5%. But what I was also seeing yesterday is this notion of Europe really stepping up, taking more of a leadership role within NATO, and also taking more responsibility for its own defence. And I think this will only strengthen NATO. I'm convinced it anchors the United States even more in NATO than it was already because of this dealing with this big irritant, which has been there for so many decades, of Europeans spending less than the Americans, and we are now dealing with this. So, this will anchor them in NATO. They are totally committed. Also, again yesterday, both nuclear and conventional, to the Alliance, and I think that is very important. Of course, we will also discuss Ukraine, it was discussed yesterday, as it will be discussed today. One: good news, more money coming in to support Ukraine in the war effort, but we still need more. Particularly, we need interceptors. We need the ammunition to make sure Ukraine can stay strong in the fight. What I will also be doing today and tomorrow is make clear that the Russians are not winning this, as some are thinking. This so-called Russian bear is not there. It is basically the stilted speed of a garden snail what we are seeing in Ukraine, this is how the Russians are moving inside Ukraine, very slow. Staggering losses, tens of thousands a month. 35,000 deaths in December, 30,000 deaths in January. So, these are the facts, and therefore we have to keep Ukraine strong, because what we see is that they make the best use of our support. So, with that, do you have any questions?
