NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte addressed students and researchers at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) in Tallinn, assuring them there is no presently imminent military threat to the alliance. He emphasized the need for Europe to bolster conventional defenses and accelerate the development of drone and air defence technologies. Rutte cautioned, however, that Russia is escalating hybrid warfare tactics throughout Europe and continues to pose a significant, long-term risk to NATO. He stated that any substantial Russian military build-up, similar to that observed before the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, would be detected and addressed. The speech focused on preparedness and vigilance despite the current lack of immediate danger. Further details on this story can be found at Estonian World.
