Zelenskyy should restore ties with Trump, says Rutte

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to repair his relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump. Rutte emphasized the importance of collaboration between the U.S., Ukraine, and Europe for achieving lasting peace. Rutte described a recent confrontation between Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Zelenskyy as "unfortunate." He highlighted the need to recognize Trump's past support for Ukraine, including the provision of Javelin anti-tank missiles. European leaders reaffirmed their support for Ukraine following the tense meeting. They focused on backing Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, avoiding direct mentions of Trump or Vance in their statements.
