Rarely has a week gone by in recent years that NATO has not been making headlines.
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, now well into its fifth year, continues to be a priority for the military alliance as it reiterates its steadfast support for Kyiv, and European allies rally to boost their own defences.
US President Donald Trump has used his second term to shake NATO to its very core; from threats to seize Greenland from Denmark and to annex Canada (both fellow members), to criticism of what he calls a lack of defence spending by other countries, and warnings that he may pull the US out of the alliance.
Nevertheless, in the face of crisis, NATO appears to be weathering the storm in the court of public opinion. According to a study by the Pew Research Center, most citizens of NATO's member countries have a good impression of the organisation.
Specifically, NATO is viewed positively in most of the 13 countries surveyed, especially Poland (78%), Sweden (74%), Germany (73%) and Hungary (72%).
