**Russia’s Ukraine Invasion Poses Global Risks**
NATO chief Mark Rutte warned that Russia’s actions in Ukraine are not just a European problem, but a global one. He said the conflict is affecting countries beyond Europe, including those in the Indo-Pacific region.
Rutte made his comments after meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at NATO headquarters in Brussels. He stressed that North Korea and Iran’s support for Russia is making the situation even more difficult to handle.
**Russia Gets Help from North Korea and Iran**
Russia has been using drones supplied by Iran to attack Ukrainian cities every day. North Korea, on the other hand, has provided Russia with artillery rounds and missiles. It’s also reportedly sent thousands of troops to join the conflict on the Russian side.
Rutte warned that these partnerships are complicating NATO’s security challenges. The situation is made even more complicated by concerns over a potential halt in US aid for Ukraine as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office in January.
