NATO’s leader, Mark Rutte, has asked the United States to keep sending weapons to Ukraine. He promised that Europe would pay for them.
Rutte made this announcement at a meeting in Davos, Switzerland. He said: “If the new US administration agrees to keep helping Ukraine, then Europe will cover the costs.”
This comes after President Donald Trump’s repeated comments criticizing aid to Ukraine and saying that Europeans should spend more on their own defense. Rutte agreed with Trump about the importance of European countries spending more on defense.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine also talked to a news organization, Bloomberg, yesterday. He said it is very important for the US to lead in ending Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Zelensky told reporters: “The end of the war must be a victory for President Trump, not for Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
