European nations have been urged by the US to increase their support for Kyiv, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He emphasized the importance of Ukraine being closely involved in all discussions concerning its future.
Rutte echoed US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's sentiments that any peace negotiations with Russia must result in a lasting solution. He stressed the need for a durable peace agreement that would prevent further attempts by Putin to encroach on Ukrainian territory.
There is a shared desire among European nations and the US for a swift resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. Rutte highlighted the necessity for Putin to understand that any peace deal must signal the definitive end of hostilities and territorial ambitions towards Ukraine.
The NATO alliance has taken note of the US's call for increased support and is actively working towards bolstering its efforts in the region. Rutte affirmed that the organization is committed to enhancing its assistance to Ukraine and ensuring the security and stability of the region.
