VVD and coalition party D66 think that cooperation is no longer possible. Tom Rustebiel (D66) says that he, together with the VVD, no longer finds it appropriate to link the name of Groningen to a Russian city. ‘Projects are taking place under the banner of the town twinning in the fields of education, culture and human rights. They seem valuable to us. We are curious whether there is also a way to continue this without the name of Groningen being connected to Murmansk. Because the inhabitants of Murmansk have not chosen this war either,’ he says.
