Rutte brings all 32 NATO ambassadors to Kyiv as Ukrainian drones hit St Petersburg oil terminal and Kronstadt base
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte made an unannounced visit to Kyiv on June 3 with the ambassadors of all 32 member states, calling Russia "increasingly desperate" and saying NATO sees no problem with Ukraine striking St Petersburg. Hours earlier, Ukrainian long-range drones hit the St Petersburg oil terminal — about 1,100 kilometers from Ukraine's border — and the Kronstadt naval base, setting the Baltic Fleet corvette Boykiy on fire on the opening day of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the strikes "long-range sanctions," disclosed Ukraine now spends $45-50 billion a year on domestic weapons production, and reaffirmed with Rutte Ukraine's "irreversible path" into NATO.
