Finland's Sanna Marin says Europe would be in trouble without US
By Alys DaviesBBC News
Finnish PM Sanna Marin has Said Europe is " not strong enough" to stand up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine on its own, and has had to rely on US support.
During a visit to Australia, the leader of the pending Nato member Said Europe's defences must be strengthened.

The Second largest donor is the European Union , followed by the UK, But their contributions are dwarfed by those of the US.
And with European countries' military stocks depleting as they supply Ukraine, Ms Marin Said more needed to be done to bolster European defences.
Speaking at the Lowy Institute Think Tank in Sydney on Friday, Ms Marin Said : " The United States has given a lot of weapons, a lot of financial aid, a lot of humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Europe isn't strong enough yet. "
She added that Europe must make sure it is " building those capabilities when It Comes to European Defence , European Defence industry, and making sure that we could cope in different kinds of situations".

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, many European Union and Nato-member countries have pledged to increase their Defence spending.
In February, Germany announced an and a constitutional commitment to Nato's military spending target of 2% of GDP.
In June, the UK - under then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson - Said its Defence spending would hit by The End of the decade.
All Nato members must commit to 2% to " to ensure The Alliance 's military readiness, " And there have been to 3% of GDP.
