London Summit / Rutte asks Zelensky to make "peace" with Trump: You
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to mend relations with US President Donald Trump after a heated exchange at the White House.

The meeting between Trump and Zelensky on Friday, which Rutte described as “unfortunate” in an interview with the BBC on Saturday, was initially designed to finalize a mineral deal. It escalated into a tense exchange.

The Ukrainian president said Washington should increase its support for Kiev rather than position itself as a neutral mediator with Moscow. Trump criticized Zelensky for what he perceived as a lack of gratitude for American aid and an unwillingness to make concessions to resolve the conflict with Russia.

The confrontation led to the disruption of the day's events, with the US president reportedly ejecting his guest from the White House. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the meeting as a "fiasco", with Trump telling Zelensky to return when he was "ready to pursue peace".

"I said: I think you have to find a way, dear Vladimir, to restore relations with Donald Trump and the American administration. This is important for moving forward," Rutte said, referring to a phone call he had with Zelensky on Friday.

He reminded Zelensky of the support provided by the Trump administration, particularly the provision of Javelin anti-tank weapons in 2019, which were crucial in defending Ukraine when the conflict escalated in 2022. Without the Javelin, “Ukraine would have been nowhere,” Rutte said.
