BRUSSELS, December 4. /TASS/. The North Atlantic Alliance has to make sure that Ukraine has enough people to call into the army, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said at a press conference following a meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers.
"We have to make sure, obviously, also that enough people are available within Ukraine," he pointed out, adding: "We have to make sure that they get trained."
"Of course, we need probably more people to move to the front line," Rutte stressed.
After the NATO chief answered the question, one of the Ukrainian reporters started to cough and Rutte said jokingly that he could understand his emotional reaction.
