NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed the negotiations in Saudi Arabia, calling them a step toward peace and a positive development.
He made this statement on March 10 while speaking with students at the University of Sarajevo, FREEDOM reported.
"I think it’s good that President Trump is trying to break the deadlock on Ukraine. But of course, there is no peace deal yet. This is still a work in progress. Tomorrow, there will be a meeting between Ukrainians and the United States. There was a meeting between the United States and the Russians, and we will have to move forward from here. In Europe, people are considering what a security guarantee mission might look like if needed to maintain a ceasefire… But I think President Trump is right. There is no peace deal yet, but we must already be thinking about how to preserve peace if it comes in the future," Rutte said.
"There are many models for how to do this. One of them is currently being developed by the French and the British. So, I think this is all positive, and I hope we will reach that point soon," he added.
The NATO Secretary General emphasized that the talks are being closely watched not only in Europe, but also by other global powers, particularly China.
