NATO plans to ask European allies and Canada to increase their stocks of weaponry and equipment by about 30% in the next few years, according to a senior alliance official.

New targets for the military capabilities of NATO allies, which would update ones set before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, are currently being discussed with the aim of adopting them by early June, when the alliance’s defense ministers gather in Brussels.
