NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed that the alliance has firmly responded to a recent Russian nuclear warning regarding the Kaliningrad region. Speaking at a defense summit in Brussels, Rutte stated that NATO delivered a clear and concise message to Moscow: “End the nuclear threats.” He emphasized that such warnings are completely unwarranted against a defensive alliance and urged Russia to stop its war against Ukraine. Dismissing the intimidation tactics, Rutte confidently added that “Putin knows he can never beat NATO.”
