North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) secretary general Jens Stoltenberg will step down from his role on Tuesday (Oct 1), after a decade at the helm of the defence alliance. His legacy is seen as primarily defined by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which transformed the 32-member bloc. Former Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte will take over as the organisation’s next chief. Alex Cadier reports from Brussels.
