NATO Chief Rutte: ‘There’s an Irreversible Path of Ukraine to Enter NATO’

‘The attacks on innocent civilians, on cities, on communities in Ukraine, without any military goal, I totally find abhorrent’

EXCERPT:

RUTTE: "Well, first, on your first question, the attacks on innocent civilians, on cities, on communities in Ukraine, without any military goal, I totally find abhorrent. We hold Russia fully responsible for this. It is against any rule, international rule. And anyway, this whole attack starting in 2014 and a full-scale attack starting end of February 2022 is unprovoked, is totally by everybody in NATO seen as something we collectively have to fight back on, making sure that Ukraine has what it needs with our support to take the fight concretely from step to step and make sure that they can defend Ukrainian territory. This is the reason why I think also last year in Washington, NATO allies agreed that for Ukraine there is an irreversible path of Ukraine to enter NATO.”
