NATO foreign ministers are in Brussels for two days of critical discussions on the ongoing Ukraine war and the Middle East crisis. Ahead of the meetings, NATO chief Mark Rutte has called for increased military aid to Ukraine, emphasizing that stronger support would strengthen Kyiv’s position in potential negotiations with Moscow.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha, has urged NATO allies for greater solidarity, stressing the need to preserve Ukraine’s energy production amid rising challenges and requesting additional air defense systems.
Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, stated, "Ukraine is entering another crucial winter, and Russia's aggression is intensifying. Putin is ramping up his rhetoric and using Ukraine as a testing ground for experimental missiles while deploying North Korean soldiers. But we must do more—stronger military support now will give Ukraine a stronger hand in negotiations and help end Russian aggression."
Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, stated, "We urgently need at least 20 additional systems like Hawk, NASAMS, or IRIS-T to prevent blackouts. Russia aims to cripple our energy production, and we need more support to stop them from succeeding."
As the discussions continue, the call for more substantial and immediate support for Ukraine grows, with the stakes for global security higher than ever.
