This is said in a statement by the Polish Foreign Ministry.

In their conversation, the two officials addressed the current situation in Ukraine, the prospects for NATO expansion, and the escalating crisis in the Middle East.

“The new NATO Secretary General thanked Poland for its efforts to support Ukraine and noted the urgent need to reinforce Ukraine’s air defence systems and enhance the logistics of Ukrainian armed forces,” the statement noted.

Both leaders agreed that “Russian missiles and drones violating borders of a NATO country, which are beyond the control of the Russian army, are becoming a problem.”

  • On Tuesday, October 1, Mark Rutte officially took office as NATO Secretary General, declaring support for Ukraine one of his priorities.
