NATO is not worried about negotiations between Trump and Putin
Separate negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are not worried NATO, because the United States is more than 50% of the budget and the influence of NATO. About this, as the correspondent of Kholoda reports from the headquarters of the Alliance’s apartment in Brussels, said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during a press conference before a meeting of the Ukrainian contact group.
“All their negotiations are our negotiations,” he said. At the same time, Rutte emphasized several times that NATO will strive to do everything to bring Ukraine to the most profitable positions for negotiations. According to him, it is possible to achieve this only by providing Kyiv as much possible military assistance. Rutte explained that the stronger Ukraine on the battlefield, the stronger its negotiation positions.
According to Rutte, he agrees with Trump that the financial burden of assistance to Ukraine should be rightly distributed between the allies, and not fall on the shoulders of the United States. According to him, the exact proportions and the scope of the participation of NATO member countries in Kyiv’s help will be determined in the near future.

Rutte also said that the alliance member countries need to increase both defense expenses and military production as quickly as possible. He emphasized that only the increased NATO military power can be a guarantee that Putin would not attack Ukraine again a few years after the expected cessation of hostilities.
At the same time, the Secretary Generalpromised a “crushing answer” if Russia attacks one of the NATO countries. Rutte assured that the participants of the block will protect every inch of their territory. However, he once again warned that NATO “would not be capable of this” if his members do not increase funding by 20% for five years.
Rutte also admitted that the alliance did not take seriously the annexation of Crimea, then demanding from the participating countries to increase military expenses by only 2%.

From the question about Ukraine’s entry into NATO, the Secretary General actually evaded: “I, unlike Putin, should answer the questions of journalists, but I do not want to give him an advantage. He is now sitting lounging in his chair and waiting for my answer. He will not hear him. " Rutte added that first it is necessary to complete the conflict on the conditions favorable for Kyiv, and then think about the procedures and the possibility of Ukraine entering the alliance.
In addition, the Alliance Secretary General said that Russia and NATO are now not at war, but also in a state of peace. He accused Russia of sabotage, sabotage and attempts. “Let's not call it a hybrid war - this is too kind and sweet word for what Russia does. This is a sabotage supported by the system, and sometimes terrorism, ”Rutte emphasized.
At the same time, he did not exclude that representatives of the alliance to resolve the conflict can seek participation in negotiations with the Kremlin, but the leading role in this matter, according to Rutta, remains with Washington and Kiev.
