Europe will finance the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated this, reports Reuters
Speaking at an event at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the NATO chief said the alliance should invest more in defense, increase defense industrial production, and shoulder a greater share of the costs of assisting Ukraine.
"As for Ukraine, we also need the US to continue its involvement. If the new Trump administration is ready to continue supplying Ukraine with its defense-industrial base, then the Europeans will pay the bill, I am absolutely convinced of this, we must be ready to do this," he added.
The secretary-general's comments came after US President Donald Trump said earlier this week that the European Union should do more to support Ukraine.
In Davos, Rutte also said it was crucial that Russia did not win, as this could lead to Russian President Vladimir Putin inspiring the leaders of North Korea and China.
"We really need to step up, not reduce, our support for Ukraine. The front line is moving in the wrong direction," — he said.
