NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said continued support for Ukraine is central to the alliance’s security, as ministers discussed Kyiv’s battlefield needs and Russia’s attacks on civilians. He said Ukraine’s front line is stabilizing, praised Kyiv’s innovation in drone warfare, and said allies must keep support “substantial,” “predictable” and “sustainable.” Rutte also confirmed President Volodymyr Zelensky had been invited to NATO’s Ankara summit.
“Ukraine must have what it needs to defend itself today and deter future aggression tomorrow,” Rutte said after a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Helsingborg, Sweden.
“An important part of ensuring our own security is continuing our support for Ukraine,” Rutte said.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha joined NATO foreign ministers on Thursday evening, as allies reviewed Russia’s ongoing war and Kyiv’s defense requirements.
