Rutte: "Ceasefire in Ukraine poses risks for NATO"

A ceasefire in Ukraine would allow Russia to increase its weapons stockpiles, posing risks to NATO member states, stated NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during a speech at Chatham House.
When asked whether it would be fair to say that NATO's risks could increase once a lasting ceasefire is achieved in Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that he considered it a statement of fact.

He added that even while the war against Ukraine continues, Russia is still able to slightly replenish its stockpiles, although this remains a matter of debate. However, regarding the answer to the question, this is a statement of fact.
