Nato chief Mark Rutte makes surprise visit to Ukraine after Russia’s overnight attack
Mark Rutte urged faster military aid and honored fallen soldiers during his surprise Kyiv visit amid Russia’s intensified strikes on Ukraine’s energy grid, NATO officials said.
- Mark Rutte made a surprise visit to Kyiv on Feb. 3, hours after Russia launched a large-scale overnight strike that ended a brief ceasefire.
- As Ukraine and Russia prepare fresh talks this week, representatives of Ukraine, the U.S. and Russia are set to meet in Abu Dhabi on Feb. 4-5, the source says.
- At the Verkhovna Rada, Mark Rutte said `Direct talks are now underway` and warned recent attacks `do not signal seriousness about peace`, stressing security guarantees and `hard power` backing.
- Rutte urged allies to dig into air defence stockpiles and said some European allies will deploy troops after a deal, with the U.S. expected to provide a backstop.
- Rutte previously urged on Jan. 21 that Ukraine, not Greenland, should be NATO's main priority, amid Ukraine's power shortages with two thermal plants offline and three at reduced capacity.
