NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated this before the start of the meeting of NATO foreign ministers, European Pravda correspondent reported from Brussels.NATO emphasizes that if Russia does not agree to peace, assistance to Ukraine will continue."It is important that the peace process takes place. We hope it will lead to results. But if it takes too long or does not yield results, the best way to put pressure on the Russians is to do two things," Rutte said. According to him, first of all, it is necessary to continue providing military assistance to Ukraine."Firstly, (it is necessary) to make sure that the Russians understand that the rapid flow of aid to Ukraine will continue. This is exactly what is happening today, thanks to the United States, thanks to the Europeans. The United States is sending its critically important equipment to Ukraine, paid for by Canada and European allies, but Europe and Canada are also doing a lot on a bilateral basis," Rutte emphasized.The second point from the NATO Secretary General is the need to continue sanction pressure on Russia."Secondly, to ensure that economic sanctions work, that they are effective. This is also exactly what is happening. The U.S. and Europe are working together to maximize the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy," he said."This is the best way to change Putin's calculations," Mark Rutte concluded.
