According to Rutte, the trip took place together with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga and the head of the Chernihiv regional military administration, Vyacheslav Chaus. During the visit, residents of the region told the delegation how they are surviving in the conditions of full-scale war.

The NATO Secretary General noted that he saw the basement of a school in the village of Yagidne, where Russian troops held local residents captive for a month in 2022. He also visited the "Point of Resilience," which functions as a centre of stability and helps provide people with necessities during power outages.
