Stan Rogers Folk Festival 2024: 27 years of music and community | SaltWire #festival #music #nsSINGAPORE - Russia's small neighbours on Friday lobbied the West at the Shangri-La Dialogue for arms production, spending and military planning to protect against Russian aggression, a challenge a senior Finland official said was too much to bear alone.
Pulkkinen said NATO decisions on command and control arrangements taken at the July summit in Washington would be"of crucial importance" as Russia's capabilities increased.
