NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said before the start of the Alliance’s ministerial meeting in Brussels on Tuesday that the North Atlantic Alliance considers Russia’s calculus to be a mistake and is confident that Vladimir Putin does not seek peace.
This was stated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte before the start of the Alliance’s ministerial meeting in Brussels on Tuesday.
According to Mr. Rutte, there are no signs of a decrease in Russian aggression. On the contrary, Putin is stepping up his rhetoric and continuing his aggressive actions, using Ukraine to test advanced missiles and involving North Korean soldiers in this illegal war.
The NATO Secretary General emphasized that Putin is not interested in peace and is convinced that he can overcome Ukraine’s resistance and the resolve of international support. However, he is wrong, Rutte added, emphasizing that it is NATO’s duty to support Ukraine’s right to self-defense. “We have to continue our unwavering support,” Rutte summarized.
