NATO Will Support Ukraine Whoever Wins U.S. Election, Says New Leader.

NATO's new leader, Mark Rutte, has pledged continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion and has vowed to pressure China to curtail its support of Moscow, regardless of the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. Rutte, who recently took over as secretary-general of NATO, praised both U.S. presidential candidates for their commitment to defending Ukraine. He also emphasized the importance of defending Ukraine, boosting NATO's capabilities, and addressing global challenges to Euro-Atlantic security. Rutte plans to increase cooperation with Indo-Pacific allies and invite their defense ministers to a regular gathering of NATO defense ministers. [Extracted from the article]
