“You still see in the NATO area that there are countries that are hesitant to supply heavy weapons to the Ukrainian army”. Mark Rutte said for Politico. Rutte said he did not want to name and shame “because if you do so, then you also know that they are definitely not going to do it”, Mark Rutte said further.
