NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reiterated during a visit to the UK on September 17 that NATO will continue supporting Ukraine despite Russia's hostile actions against its member nations, according to UATV English. Rutte affirmed that the UK and its allies stand ready to counter Russian threats, with NATO strengthening its deterrence and the protection of its members, including measures targeting Russia's shadow fleet.
"NATO will not be intimidated by the Kremlin's campaign of hostile actions," Rutte declared, emphasizing that Russia's attempts to deter aid to Ukraine will only prompt the Alliance to provide more support to the Ukrainians. He noted the UK's ongoing military backing for Ukraine and its engagement in the Coalition of the Willing, notably sharing Storm Shadow missile technology to assist Ukraine in countering Russian aggression.
Rutte also underscored that supporting Ukraine bolsters the security of NATO members, highlighting Ukraine's valuable battlefield insights, particularly in drone and air defense technologies, as European allies strive to bolster their defenses. The NATO chief indicated that the Alliance's reaction to Russian assaults on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure would involve augmented military aid from member states.
