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.

NATO members on Tuesday reaffirmed their support for Ukraine during talks with the country's officials held in response to Russia's launch of an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile last week.

The new ballistic missile fired by Russia struck a military-industrial facility in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, but its real mission was delivering a deadly new message to NATO.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte urged the alliance on Tuesday to deliver greater support for Ukraine after a record Russian drone attack during the night. Rutte said NATO support was critical for upholding Ukraine's defence against the Russian invasion but that the alliance needs "to go further to change the trajectory of the conflict.

Admiral Rob Bauer, a senior NATO military official, has warned businesses to prepare for a "wartime scenario," advising companies to bring production back home to avoid reliance on China and Russia. He highlighted the risks of supply disruptions in case of a conflict with these nations.

Ambassadors from Ukraine and NATO's 32 members meet Tuesday in Brussels following Russia's strike on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro with a new hypersonic missile. Russian President Putin said the new missile strike responded to Ukraine's use of US and UK weapons and warned that Moscow may target military facilities in states supporting Ukraine.
