The arrival of Rutte was noted in a social media post by the rail operator, which stated, “Today at Kyiv’s railway station, we warmly welcome NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. This visit is extremely important, as are all previous ones, as it symbolizes the Alliance’s solidarity and support for our country.”
Photographs released by Ukrainian Railways depicted Rutte being greeted by Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Subsequently, Ukrainian Railways removed the post regarding Rutte’s arrival from its social media platforms.
