NATO Secretary General at No. 10 Downing Street 🇬🇧, 10 OCT 2024

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte press huddle outside No. 10 Downing Street, 10 OCT 2024. 🗣 | NATO Secretary General: Good to see you. I had very good talks with, of course, the trilat together with President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Starmer, and then after that, my bilat with the Prime Minister. And can I say again that when we discuss Ukraine, we know it's tough, because Russians are more making small advances in the east, by the way, at a considerable loss of life on the Russian side. So they lose a lot of people, people dying, people carrying things seriously wounded. But still, the Russians are making those small advances. We are not only into this because of the fact that we want to support Ukraine, yes, of course, that is the main reason, but also because supporting Ukraine in this fight against Russia is crucial for our collective safety here in this part of Europe, in Canada, in the United States, all over NATO territory, because if Putin would get his way in Ukraine, that will mean a serious security implication. Have a serious security implication for all of us in NATO, and that is why we are in this. Yes, for Ukraine, but also to make sure that we stay, that we stay safe. And then in my bilat with Keir Starmer, I very much said that we are really appreciative of everything the UK is doing, first of all, being already before 2014 when we committed to the 2% already the UK being one of the few countries being above the 2% and consistently doing that. The UK delivering unique capabilities, like the nuclear deterrent, but also what UK is doing for Ukraine in terms of aid, in terms of weapons, but also training, really, the UK is doing a lot, and this is crucial. Let me also make use of this occasion to say that the annual nuclear Exercise Steadfast Noon will start on Monday, we will have more than 60 aircraft involved in training sessions. The whole exercise will particularly focus on the United Kingdom, the North Sea, but also Belgium and the Netherlands. And in an uncertain world, it is vital that we test our defence, and that we strengthen our defence so that our adversaries know that NATO is ready and is able to respond to any threat. Question: Thank you. President Zelenskyy has persistently asked for long range weapons and an agreement that he can use those weapons against Russia, against Russian targets in Russia, have you changed your stance? Are you going to deliver those weapons? Are you going to give that permission? NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: First of all, that is up to the Allies, the individual Allies, to decide how weapons they deliver into Ukraine can be used. Legally, that is possible because legally Ukraine is allowed to use its weapons if they can hit targets in Russia, if these targets present a threat to Ukraine. But whether, individual Allies do that. This in the end, also always up to individual Allies. Of course, we discussed this. I was last week in Kyiv. We discussed it today. But in the end, it is up to the individual Allies. Question: Would you back its use on Russian target in Russia? NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: Well, again, legally, yes, that is possible. And legally, there is a case to be made to do that. But now you are asking not only about that legality, but also you linking it to one specific weapon, and that's not up to me, that in the end is up to the individual Allies. Question: Has a decision been made today? About these long-range missiles? NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: I didn't say that. No, no, no, there's no change on that, because that in the end is up to the Allies who deliver certain weapon systems into Ukraine, whether they can be used for long range distance into Russia. But again, legally, that's possible, but in the end, it is up to the Allies.
