“We need to look at all the developments in the next six months, a year, two years, also in the context of Ukraine’s membership in NATO. It is very difficult to predict now,” the Secretary-General said.
Rutte had previously stated that Ukraine should join NATO. According to the former Dutch Prime Minister, in his new post, he intends to increase aid to the Ukrainian side, thereby bringing it closer to the alliance.
