NATO chief arrives in Kyiv on unannounced visit

KYIV: NATO chief Mark Rutte arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday for an unannounced trip, Ukraine’s national railway operator said, after a series of large-scale fatal Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital.
“Today at the Kyiv railway station, we are gladly welcoming NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. This visit is extremely important, just like all the previous ones, because it is a gesture of solidarity and support from the Alliance for our country,” Ukrzaliznytsia wrote on social media.
