NATO countries have helped Ukraine withstand Russia's full-scale war. However, it is now necessary to change the course of the conflict, stated NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, according to The Guardian.

Russia launched a record 188 drones into Ukraine Monday night, advancing its attacks at its fastest pace in two years, according to an assessment from the Institute for the Study of War. Now, NATO and Ukrainian officials are convening an urgent meeting.

The Biden administration’s authorization for Ukraine to use U.S. long-range missiles against Russia has escalated the Ukraine war and increased the likelihood of direct NATO-Russia conflict, according to Moscow.
