Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin warned that consequences for any attack on Nato will be ‘devastating’
A Russian attack on Nato would be “devastating” and Vladimir Putin would lose, the alliance’s secretary general warned.
Mark Rutte warned Vladimir Putin directly. “If Putin attacks Nato, the reaction will be devastating. He will lose,” he said. “Let him not try this – he knows this.”
It comes after Volodymyr Zelensky said Putin is not preparing for peace and continues to slaughter Ukrainians despite talk of a ceasefire.
The Ukrainian president said Putin was still destroying cities and killing civilians after a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv killed someone and injured four others.
It comes after US president Donald Trump said he had spoken to Putin over the phone and claimed the Russian leader wanted to end the nearly three-year-long conflict.
“He continues to kill Ukrainians and destroy cities. Right now, we need unity and support from all our partners in the fight for a just end to this war,” Zelensky said.
Emergency services rushed to four districts of the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday after the missile smashed into the historic city.
