"NATO will never be ready."

That's the stark warning from Estonia as NATO defence ministers meet in Brussels and Europe prepares for a new era of military spending, Ukraine aid and burden-sharing with the United States.

What You Need to Know:

• Estonia says NATO allies must spend more on defence, with Tallinn already spending above the proposed 5% target.

• Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur said Europe must become stronger as the United States shifts part of its military focus to other regions.

• Pevkur insisted the US remains committed to NATO and rejected fears of an American withdrawal from Europe.

• Estonia says Ukraine is "in quite good shape" on the battlefield and called for more military aid and tougher sanctions on Russia.

• Pevkur also said Europe may need to help secure the Strait of Hormuz if freedom of navigation comes under threat.

• NATO ministers are meeting in Brussels ahead of the Ankara Summit, where defence spending and Ukraine will dominate the agenda.

This NATO meeting comes at a crucial moment as Europe rearms, Russia's war in Ukraine continues and allies debate the future of transatlantic security.
