Dutch Defense Minister: “Bad deal” for Ukraine to lead to “different Europe”

Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans says that, if Russian aggression prevails now, it will inevitably return to Ukraine and NATO borders.

This is stated in his post on X, Ukrinform reports.

"After World War 2, we live in a Europe where freedom triumphs and aggression is punished. If there is a ‘bad deal’ for Ukraine, we will definitely live in a different Europe. If Russian aggression wins now, it will inevitably return to Ukraine and NATO borders," Brekelmans wrote.
