NATO secretary general emphasized, 'We must do more than just keep Ukraine in the fight. We need to raise the cost for Putin and his enabling authoritarian friends, by providing Ukraine with the support it needs to change the trajectory of the conflict.' This emphasizes that long-term support and increased military funding are essential to counter Putin's aggression and bolster Ukraine's defense.
Mark Rutte stated, 'The more we spend on defense, the more we reduce the risk of future conflict.' He highlighted the need for member states to increase their defense expenditure beyond 2% of GDP to enhance national security and deter potential conflicts.
During the joint press briefing, Rutte confirmed, 'We must recommit to stay the course for the long haul.' This indicates NATO's commitment to provide sustained support for Ukraine while simultaneously addressing the growing threat posed by Russia's allies.
The NATO chief remarked on global cooperation, saying, 'So, we must stand together - Europe, North America and our global partners - to keep our people safe and prosperous.' This stresses the need for a unified defense strategy among NATO allies against rising geopolitical threats.
