NATO's Stance on Post-War Russian Relations

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte declared that relations with Russia will not normalize even after the Ukraine conflict ends, citing a persistent threat and lack of trust. The normalization could take decades due to the ongoing security concerns posed by Russia, Rutte stated during a press conference in Warsaw.

NATO's Secretary-General Mark Rutte announced on Wednesday that the transatlantic alliance would not be normalizing relations with Russia following the end of the conflict in Ukraine.

Rutte, speaking in Warsaw, emphasized the enduring threat that Russia poses, asserting that a complete normalization of diplomatic relations 'will not happen' due to an absence of trust.

He predicted that it might take decades to overcome these hurdles, as the security risks linger even if the current war finds its resolution.
