He assured that NATO stands with Ukraine.
The Secretary General noted that Russia seeks to destroy Ukraine, but the Alliance's attention is not diverted from Ukraine.

Since last summer, NATO has provided 75% of all missiles delivered to Ukraine and 90% of air defense missiles, the Alliance’s secretary general added.
Rutte noted that after a peace deal is reached, the countries that agree will immediately provide military support to Ukraine: troops, aircraft and a naval presence.
