“ After meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that he fully supports the American leader’s initiative to end the war in Ukraine. Source: Reuters Direct speech: “Today we focused on how we can end the war. What can I do, what can NATO do to support President Trump’s vision to stop the fighting and stop the killing in Ukraine. I fully support him and we will see how to implement it.” Details: He confirmed that Washington is ready to join the system of security guarantees for Ukraine, which is being jointly developed by the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and European partners. Straight talk: “The president has made it clear: I want a ceasefire, I want the killing to stop. We’re here to say, yes, we support you and we want to help make that happen.” Details: Rutte also emphasized the catastrophic losses of Russian troops, calling the situation “unsustainable”. Direct speech: “Last month, the Russians lost more than 20 thousand killed. Since the beginning of the war – more than a million killed and wounded. This is more than in ten years of war in Afghanistan in the 1980s. This must end.” Details: The Secretary General of NATO emphasized that the sanctions and economic pressure of the West is already having a tangible effect on Russia. Straight talk: “We’re seeing lines at gas stations across the country, problems with the shadow fleet and pressure on European countries to stop buying Russian oil. It’s all working.” Details: Rutte expressed his belief that continued international pressure could force the Kremlin to agree to a ceasefire and move to negotiations. Direct speech: “I am absolutely sure that with consistent pressure we will be able to force Putin to sit down at the negotiating table and agree to a truce.” What preceded it: Earlier this week, Trump canceled a planned meeting with Putin in Budapest, saying “the timing just doesn’t seem right.” On October 22, for the first time during his second term, the US president imposed sanctions against the Russian oil companies “Lukoil” and “Rosneft”, urging Moscow to “immediately agree to a ceasefire.””, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
