Stoltenberg makes the case [again] to the US that it needs friends, reminding that the US is "big" but that the rest of #NATO together is bigger. "Size matters," he says at @WilsonCenterGEP. Another emphasis: per GDP European allies provide much more aid to Ukraine than US.

At next month's #NATO Summit, Allies will make the case for the #Alliance along three major topics. 1) Deterrence and defense, 2) Ukraine (noted this is the most urgent), 3) global partnerships, especially with the Indo-Pacific.

GEP Chair Amb. Philip Reeker to @jensstoltenberg: Why does #Putin blame #NATO, a defensive #alliance, for war? SG: #Ukraine was not a threat to Russia, this all began when Russia annexed #Crimea back in 2014.

"Beijing can't have it both ways" -- supporting Russia but remaining cordial with the west, says #NATO chief Stoltenberg, speaking at @TheWilsonCenter in Washington. "At some point unless China changes its course," he says, "allies need to impose a cost."

'It is not written in stone that North America and #Europe will always stand together. But I am an optimist and believe they will always stand together. The #US is good for #NATO security, but NATO is also good for US #security.' - @jensstoltenberg @NATO at @TheWilsonCenter

.#Ukraine cannot expect membership to @NATO at Washington Summit. Instead, it will be offered a bridge to deepen relations with #NATO. @jensstoltenberg emphasized that all Allies must support Ukraine's membership. Removed MAP at last summit and created NATO-Ukraine Council.

Citizens cannot be used as pawns in a geopolitical game. As we mark the 3rd anniversary of the Declaration against Arbitrary Detention, we re-affirm our commitment to ending this practice, which endangers all global citizens.
