Rutte: No new refineries are being built in Europe and existing ones are closing down. If war breaks out and we have to

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned that Europe is not building new oil refineries while existing ones shut down, calling it a major security concern. He said that in the event of a war, European forces would need massive amounts of diesel and other oil products to fuel F-35 jets and tanks, and the continent's shrinking refining capacity leaves that supply in doubt.

Why now: His warning links Europe's declining refining capacity directly to defence readiness amid war fears, striking a nerve in current security debates.

• Rutte: No new refineries are being built in Europe and existing ones are closing down. If war breaks out and we have to defend ourselves, we need massive amounts of diesel and other oil products for our F-35s and our tanks. That is a big worry. 1/ · Mylovanov · 958
