“In 2014, the Russians took over Crimea, then war broke out. The full-scale Russian offensive began at the end of February 2022, actually 1,000 days ago. I couldn’t be more proud of what Ukraine has done to prevail, being four times the size, with an economy that’s only 25 % of the size of the Russian economy. Being able to dominate until now, because we are in the West and others in everything the world was ready to provide what was necessary for Ukraine to prevail and not allow Putin to win. Why is it so important that Putin does not achieve his goal? Because he will have an emboldened Russia on our border, which will gain in territorial mass, gain in military capacity. And I am absolutely convinced that it will not stop there,” said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, arriving at the meeting of EU defense ministers.
“Then it poses a direct threat to all of us in the West. And that’s why we have to make sure, because our values are at stake, as well as our collective security, we have to make sure that Ukraine wins, and that’s number one on the agenda today. Especially now with North Korea intervening, this massive airstrike last weekend and 1,000 days today,” Rutte stressed.
