JAKARTA - NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Ukraine needs military assistance 'until the bloodshed stops'
That was conveyed by Rutte after delivering a speech marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
"NATO has stood with Ukraine from the very beginning. We stand with you today, and we will stand with you throughout the challenges of the future," Rutte promised, quoted by Al Jazeera, Tuesday, February 24.
"It is very important that Ukraine continues to receive the military, financial, and humanitarian assistance it needs," he continued.
He added that military assistance, including for the defense of Ukraine, is very important.
"Ukraine needs more," Rutte continued.
"Because the promise of aid does not end the war. Ukraine needs ammunition today, and every day, until the bloodshed stops," Rutte continued.
Rutte also called on NATO member states to make a commitment to promote peace in Ukraine.
"When the fighting finally stops, peace must be maintained," he said.
"With the strong military power of Ukraine ready to prevent and defend, and effective security guarantees from Ukraine's partners: Europe, Canada, and the United States," he added.
"The people of Ukraine are entitled to a just and lasting peace. Their security is our security. There will be no true peace in Europe without true peace in Ukraine," Rutte said.
