According to him, NATO will not allow Putin to have his way in Ukraine.
“We see now that the Russians are making small gains on the eastern line, but at a significant cost, and I am impressed every day by Ukraine's ingenuity, its creativity, its ability to come up with new ideas,” Rutte said, noting the drones.-
The NATO Secretary General said that the United States and other countries provide significant assistance to Ukraine.
“What we need to do is to make sure that Ukraine can continue to do this (resist aggression - ed.),” he said.-
Rutte is confident that Putin will not get his way. “And if one day Zelenskyy and his team decide to discuss with Russia how to put an end to this, he will do it from a position of strength,” the NATO Secretary General added.
