NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has called for Western nations to enhance their support for Ukraine, aiming to alter the ongoing conflict's trajectory with Russia.

Prior to a meeting in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron, Rutte emphasized the need to intensify efforts beyond maintaining Ukraine's resistance. His concerns center on Russia's strengthening ties with North Korea, Iran, and China.

In response, Macron backed the notion of a fortified Europe, stressing its importance to NATO and addressing expectations from the US, especially in light of potential political changes with a possible second Trump administration.
