Mr. Kosiniak-Kamysz said that the alliance should not wait until 2035 and needs to reach the target earlier. Accelerating the pace would strengthen collective defense and increase the resilience of the bloc's countries, he said.

The decision to gradually increase defense spending to 5 percent of GDP by 2035 was taken by NATO leaders at a summit in The Hague in June 2025 at Washington's initiative.
