Rangel lamenta “ligeireza” de Rutte sobre posição portuguesa em relação à Ucrânia

The Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte for his comments regarding Portugal's stance on the Ukraine conflict. Rutte suggested that Portugal views the Russian threat as distant, prompting the ministry to assert that Portugal has always recognized the importance of supporting Ukraine. They emphasized that it is regrettable for Rutte to speak lightly on such a serious issue. Rutte's remarks included a comparison of the perceived threat levels between Portugal and Poland, indicating that recent Russian missiles would take longer to reach Lisbon than Warsaw.
