Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte said he was confident in the victory of Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression. He said this at the Ukrainian Breakfast in Davos.

He was also asked about whether Europe will continue to support Ukraine..

" And the reason is. It's not just about the military side. We also talk about values, protecting democracy. But there is also a military side.. One day, think Russia will be able to control Ukraine. She won't stop there,"

According to him, Europe is united in support of Ukraine.

“We know what can happen if the aggressor continues to do what he is doing, and he is not stopped. We've already seen it. That is why we are united in Europe, we will work. And it's not only Europe and the USA and Canada. And I am glad that more countries are joining,” he added..

Rutte also mentioned that some countries in Africa still doubt their position.

“Talking to my colleagues in Africa. Some of them still doubt. I say it's about colonization and you just got decolonized. And it's your fight that's going on. I understand that there is a certain impact on the economy, on grain exports, high energy prices. We are experiencing this in our country too,” he said..

“There is a lot of work, because this is our struggle too. Zelensky and his team are leading our fight, so we must be strong, united. And I'm sure we'll make it to the end. I am absolutely sure that Ukraine will win because they are not on their own. All the friends of the world are with them. This must continue, it is critically important,” Rutte stressed..

He also answered the question of whether Sweden and Finland will become NATO members.. Rutte said that he is convinced that these countries will join the Alliance, because historically it is logical and this is their desire.. But he added that negotiations are underway. In particular, Rutte said that he himself is negotiating with the President of Turkey, which has not yet ratified the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO.. He believes that countries will be able to become part of NATO this year.

For Putin, the stake in the war against Ukraine is not only the future of the Russian state, its integrity, imperial greatness and international prestige, but also his own life and personal place in history.. Therefore, the exit from Ukraine is unacceptable for him, he only needs a victory.
