Brussels, 15 October (LaPresse) – Support for Ukraine ‘has not’ declined, and "if you look at this year, on average, it is the same as last year. All essential material has been delivered, and I am proud of that because, when they started this war, the Russians thought they would win it in three weeks. Now we are in the fourth year and they have lost 1 million men." This was stated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte upon his arrival at the meeting of NATO defence ministers.
