Speaking after NATO defense ministers' talks on June 18, Rutte aimed to highlight NATO's strength against Russia's strained war economy, which devotes 48% of its budget to defense.

Defenders noted Rutte likely meant Russia's economy, projected at $2.66 trillion nominally—exceeding Belgium and Netherlands' $2.23 trillion combined—echoing his past explicit comparisons.
