The two-day summit of NATO leaders started in The Hague, which will be attended by the leaders of 32 member states of the bloc, as well as about 6,000 participants.
Before the summit, NATO Secretary General Mark Ruten stated that Europe should support Ukraine and remember Russia's threat. He noted that in one year Russia produces as much weapons as the whole NATO.
At the same time, Rutt reminded Russia's economy 25 times less than NATO economies. He also noted that the establishment of peace between Russia and Ukraine is taking time. Meanwhile, according to Russia, Ukraine must have everything necessary to continue the struggle.
In his turn, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that NATO's aspirations to spread their aspirations outside the traditional zone of its responsibility.
"No risks can't be noticed in the fact that NATO is from its traditional responsibilities, trying to strengthen in the Middle East, in Transcaucasia, Central Asia and the Arctic," he said.
