ATHENS (AA) - Russian President Vladimir Putin is “not interested in peace,” according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Tuesday.
Speaking at a press meeting ahead of a NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, Rutte said: “He (Putin) is pressing on, trying to take more territory. Because he thinks he can break Ukraine’s resolve.”
“Ukraine is entering another crucial winter. And Russia’s aggression shows no sign of abating. Just the opposite, Putin is ramping up his rhetoric and reckless actions,” he added.
According to him, Putin is using Ukraine as a “testing ground for experimental missiles and is deploying North Korean soldiers in this illegal war."
He said that NATO will continue to strongly support Ukraine.
