NATO is actively working to fulfill the commitments made to Ukraine at the bloc's annual summit earlier this year, according to Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Rutte emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine, stating that NATO is moving swiftly to deliver on the promises outlined in the Washington summit declaration.
During the summit, NATO members reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to Ukraine as a sovereign, democratic, and independent state. They also pledged long-term support to Kyiv in the face of ongoing challenges.
Rutte's comments come in the wake of the Biden administration granting Ukraine permission to target deep inside Russia with long-range missiles. He highlighted the escalating situation, pointing to recent aggressive actions by Moscow and its allies.
Rutte expressed concern over the expanding conflict, noting the involvement of North Korean troops fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine. He also mentioned the supply of ammunition from North Korea, drones from Iran, and dual-use goods from China, all of which are contributing to fueling Russia's military capabilities.
