WASHINGTON, May 2 (Reuters) - NATO's European members need to increase their defense spending in light of Russia's action in Ukraine, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in planned remarks released on Friday.

"We must see renewed financial commitments from all NATO members," Hagel said in excerpts of speech on the NATO alliance to be delivered at the Wilson Center and released by the Defense Department. (Reporting by David Alexander and Susan Heavey; Editing by Bill Trott)
