According to the new NATO Secretary General, it was China that became the decisive factor in the issue of Russia's war against Ukraine.

Mark Rutte emphasized that China is harming its own interests and reputation.
According to him, the focus of the Alliance's attention should be Euro-Atlantic security against the background of all modern challenges.

The new Secretary General of the Alliance also recalled the important role of the bloc's partnership with official Brussels.
According to him, it is precisely this that makes it possible to realize the potential of cooperation in many areas — from joint support of Ukraine to countering hybrid threats:
At the end of this month, Australia, New Zealand and Japan will take part in a meeting of NATO defense ministers for the first time. I look forward to meeting them and discussing common approaches to solving the common challenges we face, said Mark Rutte.
He also reiterated that the price of supporting Kyiv is much lower than the price of Russia's victory in its war against Ukraine.
