The NATO Secretary General reported that the United States and other countries are providing significant support to Ukraine, and the main task now is to ensure that Ukraine can continue to resist aggression.

"If ever one day Zelenskyy and his team will decide to discuss with Russia how to end this, then he will do this from a position of strength," Rutte added.
