This means providing massive assistance to Ukraine so that they can resist, the head of the organization explained.

He stressed that the alliance must do everything to ensure that Ukraine could continue to operate.

According to Rutte, Western assistance should provide Ukraine with a strong negotiating position.

If Zelensky ever decides to start negotiations with Russia, he will do so from a position of strength, the NATO Secretary General added.
