Rutte emphasized that Alliance countries will announce the conclusion of new contracts worth tens of billions of dollars to strengthen the defense industry and enhance deterrence.
We are investing in our own security, providing ourselves with everything necessary to protect our societies today and tomorrow. The threats we face are real, particularly from Russia, which continues its war against Ukraine
According to him, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are already changing the situation on the front.
Ukraine is changing the dynamics on the battlefield. This is due to the courage, dedication, and ingenuity of its armed forces. But they need our continued support, especially when it comes to air defense
He also drew attention to the continuation of Russian massive attacks on Ukrainian cities.
"Russia continues to strike Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles. Last night, there was another horrific shelling. Therefore, while Ukraine defends its sovereignty, NATO allies and partners must continue to provide it with everything necessary.
I want to state clearly: all allies must contribute so that support for Ukraine does not stop," he stressed.
