Alexander de Croix

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croix has become a vocal advocate on international platforms for Ukraine's future and its defense needs. Recently, de Croix emphasized the inevitability of Ukraine's NATO membership, although current wartime conditions make it challenging. Furthermore, he supports increased sanctions against Russia and lays importance on constraining exports of strategic resources. Belgium's actions, such as providing F-16s for Ukraine, reflect its commitment to security cooperation as highlighted in an agreement signed with Ukraine on long-term support. De Croix's speeches underscore Belgium's stance on necessary security guarantees for Ukraine and the integration into European frameworks. This aligns with the broader EU efforts, including substantial financial aid packages to support Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict.
