The Lithuanian president allowed the possible disintegration of NATO into two or three parts

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) may break up if the member countries do not meet the established target level of defense spending. This was announced by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda on July 3.

"This will split, of course, split the alliance into two or three parts, and this is not very good for the spirit of collective defense in the alliance and for our solidarity," Politico newspaper quoted him as saying.

Nauseda clarified that the situation may be considered controversial if some countries achieve higher spending levels in the coming years, while others remain at about 2-2.5% of GDP.
