Will meet NATO's force: Rutte threatened Putin because of the threat of attack on Poland (video)

To spread: if someone attacks a member of NATO, then the reaction of "fierce allies" will be horrible, assured the General of the Alliance Mark Rutte. At the same time he mentioned the President of the Russian Federation separately. The Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance Mark Rutte assured that NATO would protect Poland in the event of an attack by the Russian Federation. Similarly, the Alliance will act if the Russians threaten other Member States.

Rutte said this at a press conference after meeting with the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk, which was broadcast by the FirstPost media. Rutte first reacted positively to the decision of Poland to allocate 4. 7% of GDP for defense - the largest percentage of all NATO allies. Secretary -General explained that the functions of this country were to protect the eastern flank of the Alliance, the location of the military units, the cover of Lithuania and Romania.

After that, the official stated that NATO would protect Poland, as well as any of the allies, from enemies.

It should be noted that on February 24, when US President Donald Trump met with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, he was asked about the protection of Poland as a member of NATO.

In response, Trump began to talk about the growth of military expenditures of this country for defense, but did not confirm that he would assist if there was an attack. Meanwhile, March 13, Mark Rutte visited the White House and met with US President Donald Trump. Among other things, the issue of Ukraine's accession to NATO raised during the conversation. Commenting on Trump's attitude, the Secretary General said that the question was "removed from the table.
