According to Martin Weinen, who is retiring on January 1, 2024, The Hague should follow the example of Sweden, Finland and the Baltic countries, because they border the Russian Federation or are close to it, so they are better prepared for the outbreak of war.
The Netherlands must understand that the whole society must be prepared for something to go wrong. We should not think that our safety is guaranteed just because we are 1,500 kilometers away from them,” Vainen said, adding that the civilian population should have supplies of food and drinking water in case of emergencies.
The top general warned that Russia continues to grow stronger, so a strong army is needed as a deterrent.
There is only one language that Russia understands, and that is the language of a strong army,” he said, noting the importance of the country eliminating the personnel shortage in the troops.
