How is Europe responding to its defense responsibilities according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte?

According to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Europe is now actively stepping up its defense responsibilities. He notes that after initially being disappointed that Europeans were demanding a seat at the table without taking action, he now sees positive change. Europeans are beginning to engage in meaningful dialogue and strategizing about how they can support peace efforts, particularly regarding Ukraine. This represents a significant shift in European nations' approach to collective security and their willingness to take on more responsibility within NATO's framework.
