NATO chief Mark Rutte on Thursday urged alliance members to realise that they are Russia's next targets, urging them to step up defence efforts to prevent a possible war with Moscow "on the scale our grandparents endured". Rutte also argued that a peace plan in Ukraine would be a test of whether Russia "really wants peace".
