NATO chief calls on allies to step up military support for Kyiv

NATO allies need to step up their military aid for Ukraine to strengthen Kyiv's position should it enter negotiations with Moscow over an end to the war, NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Tuesday ahead of a meeting of the alliance's foreign ministers.

"We will all need to do more. The stronger our military support to Ukraine is now, the stronger their hand will be at the negotiating table," he told reporters at the NATO headquarters in Brussels.

"Putin is not interested in peace. He is pressing on, trying to take more territory. Because he thinks he can break Ukraine's resolve and ours, but he is wrong."
