NATO chief calls for 'robust security guarantees' on Ukraine visit

Mark Rutte outlined a two-layered security plan involving strengthening Ukraine's military and commitments from the US and Europe to deter future Russian aggression.

  • On August 22, 2025, NATO’s Secretary General Mark Rutte made an unexpected trip to Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky and discuss security assurances for Ukraine.
  • The visit followed a high-level meeting in Washington involving Zelensky, US President Donald Trump, and European leaders aimed at securing security guarantees amid Russia's ongoing aggression since 2014.
  • Rutte and Zelensky described a two-part security strategy that involves enhancing Ukraine’s military capabilities alongside pledges from the United States and European nations to prevent future Russian aggression, while talks continue regarding the potential stationing of foreign forces.
  • Rutte explained that efforts are underway among Ukraine, European nations, and the United States to establish security assurances strong enough to deter any future aggression from Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, though he noted it is still too soon to detail specific contributions.
  • The talks and support signals, including US readiness and Turkey's interest in maritime security, suggest gradual progress though Russia remains reluctant to engage in high-level talks or finalize a summit agenda.
