The new US presidential administration supports NATO in establishing a lasting peace in Ukraine after full-scale Russia's war, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says.
According to Rutte, today NATO is intensively coordinating with the team of US President Donald Trump at all levels and these conversations are very good. This week, many high-ranking US officials are expected to visit Europe, including a security conference in Munich.
“And there is a convergence of views that we have to make sure, one, that Ukraine gets in the best possible position to start talks, and two, to make sure that whatever comes out of those talks, and when that will happen, we have to be sure collectively and assure collectively that what comes out of it is dure. So no repeats of what we had with the Minsk agreements,” he added.
Possible negotiations between Russia and Ukraine
At the beginning of this year, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that there was a possibility that Russia's full-scale war could end in 2025. At the same time, he is ready to sit down with Vladimir Putin if it brings peace to Ukraine.
Andrii Yusov, a spokesperson for the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, said that the war in Ukraine should not be expected to end anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Zelenskyy also said that Russia plans to train about 150,000 more military personnel in 2025.
