Mark Rutte said he will make increased weapons production a priority as he arrived in Kyiv for his first foreign visit as NATO’s new chief.
The trip amounts to a show of support for Ukraine in its third year of war against Russia’s invasion. Rutte, who took the helm of the 32-member military alliance earlier this week, has said that he will continue to persuade allies to keep supporting Kyiv and its defense capabilities.
