NATO Chief Mark Rutte, has delivered a stark warning to the West after Russia’s latest deadly strikes on Kiev.
Speaking in Brussels, Rutte declared: “We cannot be naive about Russia,” emphasizing that Moscow remains an existential threat to European security.
His words come as Ukrainian officials report heavy damage from missile and drone barrages across the capital, killing civilians and crippling infrastructure.
Rutte, set to take over NATO leadership, is pushing allies to maintain unity and step up military support for Ukraine, warning that hesitation only strengthens the Kremlin.
The statement signals a hardening Western stance amid growing concerns that Russia is expanding its long war strategy while testing NATO’s resolve.
With Ukraine’s battlefield struggles and internal political rifts in Europe and the US, Rutte’s message is clear: NATO cannot afford illusions when facing Moscow’s aggression.
