Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has issued a blunt warning to Brazil, China, and India, cautioning that they could face severe economic penalties if they continue doing business with Russia. Speaking to reporters after meeting US senators on Wednesday, Rutte urged leaders in Beijing, Delhi, and Braslia to press Russian President Vladimir Putin to take peace negotiations seriously.

"If you are the President of China, the Prime Minister of India, or the President of Brazil, and you continue to trade with Russia and buy their oil and gas, then you know: if the man in Moscow doesn't take the peace negotiations seriously, I will impose 100 per cent secondary sanctions," Rutte said.

The Nato leader's remarks came just a day after US President Donald Trump announced new military support for Ukraine and threatened sweeping tariffs on Russia and its trading partners. The White House said Trump's plan included sending advanced weapons, such as Patriot missile systems, which Kyivv considers vital to counter Russian air attacks.
