Mark Rutte, NATO chief, has called on allies and NATO to increase their arms supplies to Ukraine in the face of what could be the worst winter for the country since the Russian invasion.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned this winter could be the toughest for Ukraine since Russia invaded in 2022 and called on allies to increase their arms supplies.
Rutte said, during a recent press conference, that NATO has done and will continue to do more for Ukraine.
Russia continues to attack Ukraine’s vital energy infrastructure. The Ministry of Energy has previously stated that the damage caused by Russia’s massive attacks, especially one of the largest attacks against the energy sector, on 26 August, continue to complicate the power system’s operation.
