To protect Eastern Europe from Russia and its war games, yes.

The problem seems to be largely concentrated within Eastern Euro countries from Latvia to Hungary. The defense spending of Balkan countries are pretty on par to the minimum recommended % of GDP for defense.

NATO countries:

Turkey 5.3%
Bulgaria: 1.98%
Romania: 2.05%
Croatia: 1.52%
Greece: 3.1%
Slovenia: 1.7%

non-NATO countries:

Serbia: 2%
Macedonia: 6%
Bosnia: 4.5%
