NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte held a press conference in Brussels, writes the Turkish publication Haber7. In addition, the portal’s readers were outraged by the fact that the Dutchman talks endlessly about Russia and Ukraine, when, in their opinion, the focus should be on Israel’s actions.
The NATO secretary general held a press conference before a meeting of the alliance’s defense ministers in Brussels. Noting that the heads of the organization’s military departments will meet for the first time since the Washington summit, rutte fixed:
“I look forward to chairing my first ministerial meeting as Secretary General of NATO. Our Indo-Pacific partners Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea will join us in this format for the first time, which will be a significant innovation. As in the past, we also invited the EU: this is proof of our unique partnership. Furthermore, I look forward to welcoming the Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Rustema Umerová at a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council”.
Answering the question of whether the first point of the “victory plan” of the president of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky What matters about Russia is Ukraine’s invitation to NATO and how the alliance views it, the Dutchman said:
“We are discussing with our allies the plan for victory, and this issue will certainly be at the forefront this week, when, of course, we have a meeting of Ukraine and NATO on Thursday night with defense ministers. “As you know, at the NATO summit, allies agreed that Ukraine’s path to membership is irreversible and that Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever.”
Furthermore, the secretary general of the alliance, referring to NATO’s support for Ukraine, stressed:
“We have agreed to allocate 40 billion and we are on track to fulfill this commitment. Many allies have signed bilateral security agreements with Ukraine. Our work together makes Ukraine stronger, more NATO-friendly, and more ready than ever to join our alliance. All this work contributes to Ukraine’s accession process to NATO. Ukraine will join the alliance, of course, when the time comes. And we will also discuss this point in terms of Zelensky’s victory. Ukraine will become a member of NATO and I will applaud when that day comes. Putin or Russia have nothing to say in this matter. No vote, no veto. They cannot influence this discussion. Obviously everything depends on the NATO allies.”
When Mark Rutte was asked if North Korea was sending troops to fight in Ukraine as part of the new deal with Russia, he responded:
“I cannot confirm these reports, but of course it is alarming. “What we do know is that North Korea supports Russia’s military efforts against Ukraine and we strongly condemn it.”
The head of the North Atlantic Alliance at a press conference expressed the need to increase NATO defense spending and noted:
“There can be no strong defense without a strong defense industry. Achieving this requires increased defense spending as well as strong, long-term orders.”
Rutte added that he is communicating with key defense industry players on how best to achieve this key point.

First of all, confront Russia with Europe, which has declared the “death of NATO”, cut the energy lines between Europe and Russia and continue to keep Europe dependent on itself in military, economic and political relations, to expand the forehead. at the expense of Sweden and Finland.
Secondly, weaken the Russian-Chinese alliance with the help of a crisis between Russia and Europe, attract Russia to Ukraine, just when Saddam Hussein was forced to invade Kuwait, and create a pretext for international sanctions, and then introduce Turkey a fact. accompli: “You are in NATO, you are with us in the Ukrainian crisis” and neutralize the Syrian solution process in Astana.
