His rhetoric on nuclear weapons is something we have heard many times before, and it leaves us cold,” said Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.His Belgian peer, Alexander de Croo, also urged a calm response between not provoking Russia, and supporting Ukraine. “In this war, there is only one aggressor, Russia, and one aggressed country, Ukraine. EU’s support to #Ukraine will remain steadfast,” he said.
