Kyiv • UNN
In the first three months of 2024, allies allocated 20 billion euros to Ukraine. The NATO Secretary General emphasized that the war in Ukraine is a global conflict due to Russia's cooperation with other states.
In the first three months of this year, Western partners allocated 20 billion euros to Ukraine, and there will be more. This was announced by Secretary General Mark Rutte during a briefing at a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council in Brussels, reported by UNN correspondent.
I would like to remind you, I am pleased to say that already in the first three months of this year, the allies allocated 20 billion euros for Ukraine. Then 50, then there was more. All this is done to increase your efforts on the front line. We continue to stay with you
Rutte also mentioned the efforts of the American side in achieving peace in Ukraine and stressed that NATO is also working on this.
I thank the American partners who are doing everything possible to get out of the impasse. And we are also doing this so that when a peace agreement is reached, it will be a lasting peace
Rutte also stressed that the war in Ukraine is not a regional conflict, but a global one, as Russia cooperates with several other states.
It must be understood that the whole world is watching, this is not a regional conflict, because Russia is working with China, Iran, North Korea. Of course, we are talking about a global conflict
