Important "(twice: 96,000 And 99,000), "Cat Kostyan"(84,000) and many others. Publications on the alleged quote Rutta are found in "VKontakte" Facebook, Instagram, X and other social networks. At least twice About the "impudent statement" of the Secretary General of NATO wrote The newspaper "Moscow Komsomolets".
In some publications, in addition to the quote attributed to Rutta, a short video is also given with an excerpt from the performance of the NATO Secretary General. In this video, he speaks English, and the translation of his words is made in the form of Russian-speaking subtitles. How reported, as part of the recent NATO summit, allegedly said:
“And we must do everything so that any ceasefire or a peace agreement on Ukraine is so durable and strong so that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will never, will never try to take a single square kilometer of Ukrainian territory from the Americans.”
From June 24 to 25, 2025, the next summit of the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty was held in the Hague. On the first day of the forum, an almost half -hour public conversation Rutte with Benedict Franca - Deputy Chairman and General Director of the Munich Security Conference. Distributed in Runet Video - Fragment broadcasts the dialogue available on the verified YouTube channel NATO. On other channels you can find a conversation with Rutte with Frank, published separately, and on the website of the alliance - her a transcript.
As in a viral passage with Russian subtitles, and in the original broadcast on the NATO channel, the Alliance Secretary General did not stated that the Ukrainian lands belonged to the United States. In fact, Rutta said:
“At the same time, we must make sure that Ukraine has everything to stay in battle, that Ukraine will be in the most powerful position when real negotiations begin. Therefore, I am not talking about the negotiations that this Russian historian now leads about the events of the thousands of years ago and who is responsible for what is there - this was now twice in Istanbul (this refers to the assistant to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Medinsky, who headed the delegation of the Russian Federation at those negotiations. - Approx. Ed.). This is a frivolous approach. And I am very proud of the Ukrainians that they sent a team of senior officials there: with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Defense, the head of the [General] Staff (actually in the Ukrainian delegation at negotiations in Istanbul in May And June 2025 included First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. - approx. Ed.) - So they reacted seriously. But Russia was clearly not serious. But, I hope, serious negotiations will begin in the near future. And then we must make sure that, whatever the long -term ceasefire or a peace agreement on Ukraine, it will be long, it will be strong. That Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will never, never again try to capture a single square kilometer (or for Americans - not a single square mile) Ukrainian territory".
In other words, Rutte spoke only about potential guarantees that will help to prevent Russia's future attempts to seize Ukrainian territories. Since the US does not use Metric, A Imperial The measurement system, specifically for American listeners, NATO Secretary Generals brought the unit of area they understand.
According to the TGSTAT service, initially a video with incorrect Russian subtitles appeared June 24 at 17:33 Moscow time in the Telegram channel "Solovyov". First, the signature for the video lasting 2.5 minutes, with the performance of Rutta ended like this (spelling preserved): “And we must do everything so that any ceasefire or peaceful agreement in Ukraine is so durable and strong so that Vladimir Putin will never, will never try to take away a single square kilometer of Ukrainian territory from the Americans.”
However, then the post with the video was Five times edited. Already in the morning of the next day (June 25 at 06:56), the text has become this: “And we must do everything so that any ceasefire or a peace agreement on Ukraine is so durable and durable that Vladimir Putin will never, never try to take a single square kilometer again ... or, for the Americans, not a single mile of Ukrainian territory.” In addition to the signature, subtitles were changed.
Thus, Mark Rutte did not claim that the territories of Ukraine belong to the United States. In fact, in his speech, the Secretary General of NATO expressed the hope that in the future, after the ceasefire, Russia would not try to occupy a single square kilometer of Ukrainian land. Especially for the American audience, Rutte clarified his phrase using the unit of measurement of the area in the imperial system of measures. The wrong translation of the statement of Rutte became viral after the post of the Telegram channel “Solovyov”, where the error was corrected after some time. However, by that time video with distorted words of the politician have already managed Place Other pro -Kremlin resources.
