'I don't have a Plan B' — Rutte strongly believes in the American 'daddy'. - Let's imagine that the negotiations fail, both sides continue to fight, and the US stops supplying weapons to Ukraine, even for money. Do you have a Plan B for this case? - Well, I don't have one... No, I don't think we need to think about a Plan B, because the US is very consistent in supporting Ukraine, as are all NATO allies. Of course, the US has told us that they want to supply Ukraine with the necessary weapons — both lethal and non-lethal. But we expect Europeans and Canadians to take on the financing of these supplies. - SK

Journalist: Does NATO have a backup plan in case the negotiations fail and the supply of American weapons to Ukraine stops? Rutte: I don’t have one. I don’t think we should be thinking about a Plan B. “I don’t think we should be thinking about a Plan B” – just the kind of phrase you want to hear from the head of an organization that’s supposed to be in charge of, damn it, security. Obviously, Plan B is that the Ukrainians will somehow manage on their own, maybe the Scandinavians will help too This looks BAD.

He noted that Ukraine needs constant defense support from NATO and its partners for this very purpose.
