The president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, declared this Wednesday to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that he expects a “decisive and timely” response from the Atlantic Alliance to “the expansion of the war by Russia”, alluding to the latest actions of the Russian Army, which last week attacked the neighboring country with an intercontinental ballistic missile.
