Netherlands Prime Minister Says Ukraines Future In NATO - Ukraine will become a NATO member "one day" Belgian PM says

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Tuesday that Ukraine's future lies within NATO, and the Netherlands will continue strengthening Ukraine's air defense capabilities.

"Ukraine's future and rightful place lie within NATO. And we will continue supporting this ambition. The Netherlands is taking responsibility in this regard. We are working hard to enhance Ukraine's air defenses, and we will remain committed to that goal," Rutte told a joint news conference with leaders of seven NATO allies after an informal pre-Summit dinner in The Hague.

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo told the news conference that Ukraine will become a NATO member "one day," adding that the alliance needs to support Ukraine in the meantime.
