We gathered this morning to mark another terrible anniversary. Four years of ruthless warfare. We remember today and every day what Ukraine has endured. But as we honor those who are dead and suffering, we also have hope. Inspired by four years of invincible resistance. Four years of steadfast resistance”, Rutte said.
He noted that he had the first honour of speaking in the Ukrainian parliament just weeks after Russia's full occupation in 2022.
At that time, I said this war was about the right of a sovereign people to choose their own way. It's about freedom. Yours and ours. That remains true today”, the Secretary General noted NATO.
He noted he was back in Ukraine just three weeks ago.
I saw Russia freely hit houses and energy sources. I met the inhabitants of the village of Jahidne who survived the brutality of the Russian captivity and homazed the fallen heroes in Maidan. Ukraine is a place of quiet heroes, where both civilians and soldiers carry the burden of war”, he said.
According to Rutte, it is extremely important that Ukraine continue to receive the necessary military, financial and humanitarian assistance.
The “so Ukraine can be protected from Russian terror from the sky and maintain the front line. This support is extremely important. Ukraine needs more. Because the promise of help does not end the war. Ukraine needs ammunition today and every day until the bleeding stop”, Rutte said.
He noted that “Ukraine continues to prevent Russian aggression, and despite Putin's statements, Russia has been unable to realise its ambitions in the field of battle”.
“Putin should tell if peace is serious. President Trump has made it clear from the start that he wants to end the war now. Ukrainian people deserve a just and lasting peace. Their safety is our safety. There can be no real peace in Europe without true peace in Ukraine”. /Periscope/
