The US-led bloc\u2019s strategy involves supporting Kiev until it can negotiate with Russia from a \u201cposition of strength,\u201d Mark Rutte has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

NATO will continue to provide Kiev with large amounts of military aid so that it can keep fighting against Russia, Secretary General Mark Rutte has said, outlining the bloc\u2019s strategy on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters at a joint press conference with Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina in Brussels on Wednesday, Rutte explained that NATO is committed to \u201cpreventing Putin from getting his way in Ukraine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unacceptable,\u201d<\/em> Rutte said, stating that \u201cyou cannot invade another country in the world of 2022, 2023, 2024\u201d<\/em> and that the world has \u201cmoved beyond colonization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He reiterated that NATO will continue to \u201cmassively support Ukraine with military aid to make sure that they are in a position to fight back\u201d<\/em> and will work \u201cvery hard to make sure they can prevail.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cPutin will not get his way, and to make sure that if ever one day [Vladimir] Zelensky and his team will decide to discuss with Russia how to end this, that he will do this from a position of strength, so that he can dominate those talks,\u201d<\/em> Rutte said.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Silina concurred with Rutte, stating that \u201cas a NATO country,\u201d<\/em> Latvia will continue to support Kiev and give it whatever it needs so that \u201cUkraine will be the one who will decide how the war will end.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

At the same time, the NATO chief admitted that Russia was making advances on the battlefield, but downplayed those developments, claiming that they were coming at \u201ca considerable cost\u201d<\/em> for Moscow.<\/p>\n

Russia has consistently condemned Western arms shipments to Kiev, arguing that they only lead to more bloodshed and prolong the conflict without affecting its outcome. The Kremlin also charges they make NATO a direct participant in the hostilities.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Moscow reports that its forces are gaining ground in Donbass at breakneck speeds, capturing dozens of cities in recent weeks, including the heavily fortified mining town of Ugledar in the southern section of the front.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
