"This is fair": Trump has promised to give Ukraine weapons for "billions of dollars" - NATO Secretary General

To extend: US President Donald Trump during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte promised to provide Ukraine with "billions of dollars" at the expense of NATO member states. Trump's demand that Europe should pay America for weapons for Ukraine is "fair," in an interview with Rutte journalists, following a meeting with the White House leader, which took place on July 14.

According to him, the North Atlantic Alliance plans to supply weapons to Kiev as part of military assistance packages that will be "as effective as possible". "I think it's fair," Rutte said. He also added that last week Trump told him about his desire to intervene in the situation in Ukraine. "Last Thursday, President Trump called me and said," Mark, we really want to increase Ukraine's support for weapons supply.

" NATO Secretary General stressed that Trump was annoyed with his last telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rutte also appealed to the world leaders who trade with Moscow and urged them to call Putin and push them to a peace agreement before the secondary duties that Trump promised. We will remind, on July 14, the post -USA of the US at NATO Matthew Witaker reported America no longer provided to Ukraine weapons for free.
