Mark Rutte

Good to be in DC today to talk about #NATO support to bring the war against Ukraine to a just and lasting end. I’m grateful to @POTUS President Trump for his crucial work to stop the killing. A ceasefire is the first step - they should stop where they are. Ukraine is ready & it’s important that all continue to apply pressure - through support to Ukraine, sanctions, shadow fleet, and more - to bring Russia to the table.

Always a pleasure to meet 🇺🇦 Defence Minister @Denys_Shmyhal. Allies are committed to supporting Ukraine. You can count on #NATO, so that you can defend today, negotiate peace from a position of strength tomorrow & deter any aggression in the future
