Grushko: today the total NATO military budgets exceed 52% of the global total. The contribution of the European allies is $450 billion, which is seven to eight times more than Russia’s military budget.

According to Grushko, if militaristic circles finally come to power in the United States and increase the military budget to $1 trillion, against this background “the share of Europeans will be significantly smaller,” he said. Currently, NATO, which was founded on April 4, 1949, includes 32 countries.
