Rutte: Trump can reach peace deal with Putin on Ukraine

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has expressed full confidence in US President Donald Trump's ability to achieve a peaceful solution in Ukraine, his statement came ahead of a highly anticipated meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Rutte praised the US-Ukraine ceasefire agreement proposed during talks in Saudi Arabia last week, calling it an important step towards peace.

The NATO chief also denied claims that Trump trusts Putin too much, stressing: "He knows President Putin very well from his first term. So he knows how to make sure he can get a deal done. I have full confidence in that."

Meanwhile, Rutte has proposed the possibility of gradually restoring normal relations with Russia after the end of the war, a suggestion that could affect the dynamics of international relations.
