Rutte Sees Ukraine Talks Focusing on Occupied Territories
Published on 8.11.25
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that future peace talks on the war in Ukraine will likely focus on Ukrainian territories under Russian control, emphasizing Ukraine's sovereignty and security guarantees. He drew a parallel with the West's position during the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states, suggesting a possible agreement could recognize Russia's de facto control without legal recognition. US President Donald Trump is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska to discuss a potential diplomatic solution to the conflict.
