Mark Rutte explained how he plans to celebrate the end of the war.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has already shared his vision for commemorating the end of the war together with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to "Focus" reports.

Appearing on the Dutch television show “Pauw & De Wit,” Rutte admitted that he plans to get “drunk out of his mind” with the Ukrainian president on a mountain peak in Switzerland.

“We’ll get drunk until we pass out somewhere in the Swiss Alps. We’ll sit on a mountaintop and drink until we lose consciousness. That’s our plan,” said the NATO Secretary General.

According to Mark Rutte, he promised Zelenskyy he would bring red wine to such a meeting.

He added that the Ukrainian president himself had previously expressed a desire to relax in the Swiss mountains after the war ends, and that Rutte wants to meet with Zelenskyy without the constant presence of a large security detail.

In particular, the NATO Secretary General emphasized that he sincerely respects the President of Ukraine and noted that they are in constant contact and hold consultations every week.
