EU ready to pay US for weapons for UkraineSpeaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Rutte noted that NATO plans to increase defense investment and expand military production, as well as assume a greater share of the costs of military assistance to Ukraine.
As for Ukraine, we also need the US to continue its involvement.
If the new Trump administration is ready to continue supplying Ukraine with its defenseindustrial base, then the Europeans will pay the bill, I am absolutely convinced of this, we must be ready to do this, the NATO Secretary General emphasized.
The statement came after US President Donald Trump said this week that the EU should increase support for Ukraine.Rutte, during his speech in Davos, also insisted that Russia should not win the ongoing criminal war.
We really need to step up, not reduce, our support for Ukraine.
The front line is moving in the wrong direction, the NATO Secretary General stated.
Rutte insists on Ukraines membership in NATOAccording to the Secretary General of the Alliance, Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin has no right to decide and dictate who will receive NATO membership.
We must clearly understand that Vladimir Putin has no veto or vote on who will join NATO in the future.
Only if he himself wants to join NATO, but I dont think he wants to, Rutte emphasized.
In his opinion, Ukraines full membership in NATO is the best permanent guarantee of security.
But whatever the outcome, it must be clear that peace is sustainable...
When they are over, we must be confident that the peace we have collectively maintained will be sustainable and will never again be called into question, the NATO Secretary General emphasized.
