Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Saudi Arabia to hold talks focused on strengthening security.

Zelenskyy emphasised the importance of developing bilateral relations and conducting planned meetings, noting that Ukraine is interested in deepening cooperation with partners committed to global security.

“We value support and stand with those who are ready to work with us on security issues,” he said.

Earlier, the President stated that Russia has been shifting its strike targets, focusing more on water infrastructure, dams and logistics. He also outlined the types of weapons needed to counter this new phase of attacks.

Zelenskyy additionally highlighted the current casualty ratio on the front line, saying it stands at about 1:8 in Ukraine’s favour, with Russian forces losing an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 personnel each month.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Thursday said Ukraine continues to receive American weapons purchased by its European partners under the PURL programme.

Rutte made the remarks in response to media reports suggesting that the United States could redirect weapons originally intended for Ukraine to the Middle East.

The official said “critical equipment” from the US, including interceptor missiles, is still being delivered to Ukraine through the PURL mechanism.

He emphasised that since the launch of the programme, Ukraine has received a “significant portion” of its military supplies via this framework.

“This is an important programme that continues to operate,” Rutte stated.

Earlier, The Washington Post reported, citing anonymous sources, that the Pentagon was considering the possibility of diverting weapons allocated for Ukraine to the Middle East.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Thursday said the Alliance considers it appropriate to continue its relationship with Georgia, while also expressing “serious” concerns over recent developments related to democracy and the rule of law.

Rutte noted that maintaining engagement remains important, particularly to preserve dialogue between the sides.

“At the same time, we must acknowledge recent developments. We call on Georgia to return to a pro-European, future-oriented path and ensure that progress continues in terms of democracy and the rule of law,” he said.

Rutte added that concerns in these areas are significant, but emphasised that continued cooperation provides an opportunity to address issues through dialogue rather than severing ties altogether.

“We believe it is better to continue the relationship and maintain channels for discussion, rather than say we disagree and cut off relations completely,” he stated.
