NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has urged European leaders to stop complaining about being sidelined in Ukraine peace talks and instead present concrete solutions.

Meanwhile, NATO plans to finalize a new defense spending agreement at its upcoming June summit, stressing that many members still fail to meet their commitments.
