NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised US President Donald Trump on Tuesday for facilitating a breakthrough in diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing war in Ukraine, APA reports citing Yahoo News.
"I want to really note the fact that, thanks to him, there has now been a breakthrough when it comes to Ukraine, in terms of starting talks with both the Russians and the Ukrainians," Rutte said in a joint press conference with Kosovo's Foreign Minister Vjosa Osmani in Pristina.
"President Trump is right that before you can keep the peace, you first need to have the peace," Rutte said.
While security guarantees for Ukraine remain a priority, negotiations must first yield a formal ceasefire or settlement, he added.
