“We have taken note of the project proposed by Mr. Zelensky and we agree that it is an important signal showing that the Ukrainian government and its president have aligned themselves on a plan for victory,” underlined Mr. . Rutte. “But the main topic of discussions last night was how to make sure that no one in Moscow thinks that we want to slow down aid to Ukraine,” he added.
“Many Allies are providing massive aid to Ukraine, and this support will continue,” noted the NATO chief on this subject. “We are all united within this Alliance to say that we want kyiv to win. This is about our values and our collective security. And for all these reasons, we are going to ensure that Ukraine has everything what it needs in terms of military equipment.”
In particular, it will be a question of continuing to support the Ukrainian defense industry as well as the training of its troops, but also of minimizing the impact of the destruction of its energy infrastructure this winter, specified the head of NATO.
The Alliance’s air and missile defense also remains NATO’s priority, it emerged from the meeting of Defense Ministers. “This is even more important given the multiple violations of NATO airspace by Russia in its war against Ukraine,” Mr. Rutte underlined in this regard.
