NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte intends to discuss with US President-elect Donald Trump a strategy for peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. This is written by The Washington Post columnist David Ignatius with reference to unnamed sources.
According to The Washington Post, Mark Rutte may visit Donald Trump’s residence in Florida in the near future.
A senior German official told David Ignatius that the alliance secretary-general’s main idea is that the interests of both Trump and Europe are served by a ‘just and sustainable peace’ that ‘will not be an encouragement to Moscow’ and will be able to guarantee Kiev’s security. He also noted that the main goal of Rutte is to help Donald Trump ‘to solve the Ukrainian issue in such a way that this problem does not haunt him during his presidential term’.
We will remind, earlier the Washington Post with reference to a senior official from the FRG wrote that Donald Trump held a series of telephone conversations with European leaders, discussing Ukraine and asking questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelenskyy’s ‘plan of victory’.
