“European countries can easily spend about a quarter of their income on healthcare, education, pensions, and similar areas. It is necessary to take some of this money and allocate it for military needs. Countries must be strong in the face of a potential invasion of hostile forces on their territory,” Rutte stated.

Previously, we reported on whether Putin and Trump are ready for a meeting, and what the Kremlin says about the conditions.

“At the moment, we are safe. But can we confidently say that this will also be the case in four or five years? I am very concerned about the situation developing in the world. We need to significantly enhance the defense capabilities of our countries,” Rutte shared.

We also reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine intercepted tank superiority.
