Charles Michel - Reckless statements about NATO security and Article 5 only serve Putin's interests

Foolish statements about NATO's security and Article 5 only serve Putin's interests, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, writes on the social network .

Michel points out that the North Atlantic Alliance has ensured the security and well-being of Americans, Canadians and Europeans for 75 years.

"They again emphasize the need for the EU to urgently develop its strategic autonomy and invest in its defense and to keep our alliance strong," Charles Michel wrote on his X page.

Recall that during the 2024 presidential election campaign in South Carolina, Donald Trump said that he would encourage Russia to attack any NATO member who did not pay taxes as part of the Western military alliance.
