NATO Secretary General Mark Rute asked today in Warsaw to increase aid to Ukraine so that it does not further lose territories and to stabilize the front in the war with Russia, and he supported the principle that Poland insists on for the whole of NATO - that the end of the war cannot be negotiated behind back and without Ukraine itself.
"Help must go to Ukraine constantly. In order not to lose territories, to stabilize the front and to return the occupied territories. There are North Korean soldiers in Ukraine. Putin pays them with money and technologies, which endangers not only Ukraine, but also Japan or Korea or the USA," Rute said after the conversation with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
During his first visit to Poland, NATO Secretary General appealed to the West to reduce bureaucracy in deciding on aid to Ukraine and in strengthening its defense capacities.
"Our money has an impact on the situation in Ukraine, the Middle East and other parts of the world. We need to strengthen defense capacities, to strengthen the defense industry. All decisions must be implemented urgently. Our opponents do the same, we must do the same," he said. is Rute.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, after the conversation with the Secretary General of NATO, said that their views are identical when it comes to aid to Ukraine and the role of NATO's eastern wing, as well as the need to preserve transatlantic ties because, as he said, the world is safe as long as the EU , USA, Canada, Great Britain and Norway combined.
"It is a common position, I will repeat what I said in Budapest: there is no story about Ukraine without Ukraine. I have already started mobilizing the leaders of the European Union to make this principle common. EU countries must take care that all solutions about, God forbid, the end of the war or the freezing of the conflict will be agreed upon with the participation of Ukraine itself and the interested countries on NATO's eastern wing," Tusk said.
