Background Earlier, Rutte noted that sustainable peace in Ukraine requires joint work between the US, Ukraine and Europe and hopes for reconciliation between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, after the spat in the White House.
After the spat with Zelenskyy, Trump claimed that the Ukrainian president wanted to continue the war, while Russian ruler Vladimir Putin was ready for peace.
Zelenskyy noted the White House incident was not beneficial for either side but explained why he had actively engaged in it.
He later elaborated on his position, stressing that he could not agree to a truce without guarantees for Ukraine.
