NATO chief Rutte: Russia will remain a threat to Europe even if there is a peace

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warns that even if an agreement is signed to end the war started by Vladimir Putin nearly four years ago, Russia will remain a long-term threat for a long time.

Rutte's statement comes at a key moment in the peace negotiations for Ukraine.

In an interview with the Spanish media outlet "El Pais", Rutte stated that Ukraine is on an irreversible path towards NATO. 

"Russia has no voting or veto rights over who becomes a NATO member. But within NATO, membership requires unanimity. At the Washington summit, we decided that Ukraine is on an irreversible path towards NATO.

At the same time, some allies, including the US, have said that they are currently opposed to Ukraine joining. When you look at the peace plan and you want to make sure that Putin never tries to attack Ukraine again, then if NATO membership is not an option, we should at least put in place security guarantees strong enough to make Russia never try again.

"The first question is how to keep the Ukrainian Armed Forces strong, the second is what a coalition of the willing can offer and the third is what the US will contribute, as President Trump has said before meeting Putin in Alaska that he wants to be involved in security guarantees. This discussion is ongoing," Rutte said. /CNA
