Mark Rutte, the former Dutch Prime Minister, has become the NATO Secretary General, succeeding Jens Stoltenberg. In his first press conference at NATO's Brussels headquarters, he emphasized that an independent and democratic Ukraine is crucial for European peace and stability. He noted that the cost of supporting Ukraine is significantly lower than the cost of a potential victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rutte pledged to bring Ukraine closer to NATO, indicating that despite the leadership change, the alliance will maintain its current policy towards Ukraine. Teljes cikk (Portfolio.hu)
