JAKARTA - Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Mark Rutte said Russian President Vladimir Putin could be invited to negotiate to reach a ceasefire with "continuous pressure."
"I firmly believe that with ongoing pressure, we will be able to invite Putin to negotiate to agree to a ceasefire, and then to other talks afterward," Secretary General Rutte told reporters in a press statement after meeting with US President Donald Trump, quoted from Anadolu, October 23.
Secretary General Rutte met with President Trump at the White House on Wednesday. He said the two exchanged views on how they could end the Russia-Ukraine war and how NATO could contribute and what steps could be taken to convince President Putin to accept the ceasefire.
He called President Trump, given his "strong position and vision in this regard," as "the only person who can sit with President Putin and make him change his calculations, and give him a little flexibility to do that."
