In 2008, Mart de Kruif assumed command of the allied forces in Afghanistan and in 2011, he was promoted to Lieutenant General and took on the role of Commander of the Royal Netherlands Army. Mart de Kruif's keynote speech centers around leadership in times of crisis: how to translate vision into plans, individuals into teams, and values into virtues. During his presentation, Mart will outline the current developments of the war in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of defending European democracy during wartime. He highlights the need for coordinated action rather than individual national efforts.
