Main issue is not Greenland, it's Ukraine,' Nato's Rutte says
![]() 770 Wednesday, 21 January, 2026, 15:45 “The risk here is that you focus, of course, on Greenland, because we have to make sure that that issue gets solved in an amicable way. But the main issue is not Greenland. Now, the main issue is Ukraine.” Nato secretary general Mark Rutte said. “And as we speak, Russian missiles and Russian drones are attacking the energy infrastructure in Ukraine. We know that it is now -20 degrees in Kyiv. We know that Ukraine can only take care of 60% of its own electricity. And yes, it is true the Russians have lost in December 1,000 people dead – not seriously wounded, but dead - a day. That’s over 30,000 in the month of December. In the 1980s, in, Afghanistan, the Soviets lost 20,000 in 10 years. Now they lose 30,000 a month in one month. But they still continue the attack, they still increase the attack. It means that if we think that because of the €90bn the Commission has been able to bring together … or because the peace process is moving in the right direction, we can forget about the defence of Ukraine – don’t. They need our support now, tomorrow and the day after.” |
