According to the estimates of the Dutch edition of AD, the current NATO summit in the Hague has become the most expensive in history, and its holding cost more than 1 million euros per minute. Such in the true sense, space costs were conditioned in particular by record safety measures. The security operation was called Orange Shield (Orange - Focus) and provided for direct involvement of more than 27,000 police officers and 10,000 servicemen.
In the end, the frigates patrolled the North Sea, F-35 fighters and Apache helicopters circled in the sky, and air defense systems were brought into full combat readiness. The NATO Summit in the Hague was the first meeting of leaders under the new Donald Trump presidential cadence. It is significant that only two states are mentioned in the summary declaration of the summit that are not members of the North Atlantic Alliance.
It is Russia that has been the only status of a "long -term threat", as well as Ukraine, whose further protection is recognized by NATO priority. In particular, the Alliance Member States have committed themselves to assist the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces) at the expense of defense expenses, which plan to increase to 5% of GDP by 2035.
In addition, NATO Rutte Secretary General General, after completing the summit, publicly confirmed the Alliance's intentions to continue the support of Kiev on his "irreversible way" to membership. Bloomberg reported the fact that during a closed meeting at the NATO head of NATO heads, Donald Trump reported. According to the source of the agency, Trump also stated that Ukraine needs to take measures, as the situation "has been completely out of control".
The US President did not detail what it was in mind, but these words were regarded as a very positive signal of his interest in the further process of peaceful settlement in the Russian-Ukrainian war, Bloomberg sums up. The leading expert of the National Institute for Strategic Studies Ivan Us has been evaluated by NATO Summit in Hague in Hague.
In particular, in the conversation with the focus, the analyst stated: "Before this summit, there were lively discussions about whether or not the President of Zelensky should go to the Hague, because, saying that Ukraine is unlikely to be the center of attention. Moreover, in the fields of the summit, it is definitely important for Ukraine to meet with Trump, which lasted even longer than it was provided by the regulations.
In fact, they combined with the case further support of Ukraine, thus "suturing" this issue into the budget of NATO member countries. " The expert pays special attention to the formulation in the final communique of the Hague Summit of the Alliance for Russia. "Putin, as they say, has received! The Russian Federation in the final statement of NATO summit stated how the world's only country is threatening the Member States of the North Atlantic Alliance.
That is, not China, but Russia, and that I think, I think, because we are not constantly forced to repeat ourselves. The NATO Declaration gives a clear signal that the main enemy of the Alliance is the Russian Federation and the block should work on counteraction to this particular enemy, " - emphasizes Ivan Us. In his opinion, summer 2025 in the context of the NATO summit was, despite the fears, "pleasantly hot" for Ukraine, and the final communique is "a very pro-Ukrainian final chord.
" At the same time, the political scientist, an expert of the Analytical Center "United Ukraine" Petro Oleshchuk, commenting on the focus of NATO summit in the Hague, said: "If we recall mass publications on the eve of the summit, which literally filled the leading Western media, then there was a diligence. There will be no clear formulations about Ukraine. The mood of Trump was a decisive factor in Hague.
" Almost all the signals that Trump submitted at the Hague summit, according to the political scientist, play in favor of Ukraine, despite the fact that the US President, in particular, with the results of a bilateral meeting with Vladimir Zelensky, avoided "openly anti -Putin statements. " "In fact, this NATO summit could be much worse for Ukraine.
But I think that for Trump and his immediate surroundings is becoming more obvious the fact that the so-called restarting relations with Russia is unlikely because Washington and Moscow. Having emphasized that Putin has no sentiments against the Iranian regime, the expert, meanwhile, stated that his intervention in the Middle Eastern conflict, the United States "humbled" the Kremlin head. "Putin of this Trump will not be unambiguous.
