NATO is committed to “changing the trajectory” of the war in Ukraine towards Kiev’s favor. “But we must do more than just keep Ukraine in the fight,” NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte declared during a press conference closing the NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels yesterday. “We must provide enough support to change the trajectory of this conflict once and for all.”
Rutte explained, in response to a reporter, that “changing the trajectory means that we want to bring Ukraine in a position of strength, so that one day, the Ukrainian government can enter into talks with the Russians on how to end this conflict. …[C]hanging the trajectory means that where the front line is now moving westwards, we have to make sure that Ukraine is in a position of strength, so that in those negotiations, Ukraine can get what it wants, and we can prevent Putin from getting what he wanted when he started his full onslaught on Ukraine.”
