“We are responding (to Russian attacks. – “EP”) even now, because it is already terrible. These Russian missiles are weapons of death and destruction. We saw this the other day, when they were used in Lviv region. I consider it terrible,” Rütte emphasized.
He recalled that “last night we again saw hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that hit Ukraine.”
“In particular, now they are hitting civilian infrastructure, innocent civilians. This has nothing to do with the hostilities at the front. This is done only in order to sow panic and death among the civilian population of Ukraine. This is evidence of the atrocities that the Russians are ready to commit,” the NATO Secretary General stated.
He emphasized that this is why he “has such a strong motivation to do everything possible” to provide Ukraine “with the necessary interceptor missiles to shoot down these missiles wherever possible.”
“I ask the parliamentarians present here: work with your governments to thoroughly check their stockpiles. Find the necessary interceptor missiles for the Patriot, NASAMS and SAMP/T systems, because the Ukrainians need them immediately,” urged Mark Rutte.
