Dutch PM says is unsure if Dutch parliament will ratify Ukraine deal


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Thursday he was not sure whether he would be able to get the Dutch parliament to ratify a landmark association agreement between the European Union and Ukraine.

All 28 EU leaders agreed on Thursday on additional guarantees over the Ukraine deal that had been demanded by Rutte after Dutch voters rejected the agreement with Kiev in a referendum last April.
