📜 Rutte noted that the russian side often appeals to historical narratives instead of concrete negotiation proposals. “I’m not talking about negotiations led by a russian historian who goes back thousands of years and shifts the blame. That is not a serious basis,” he said.
🤝 He cited Ukraine as an example, which already demonstrates a responsible approach by sending a high-level delegation to talks in Istanbul.
⏳ Rutte acknowledged that the exact end date of the war is still unknown but emphasized the importance of ensuring long-term support for Ukraine so it can hold a strong position during future genuine negotiations.
🕊️ “This does not mean a peace agreement will happen soon. But we must guarantee that Ukraine can continue fighting and have the strongest possible position when real negotiations begin,” the Secretary General said.
🌟 He also expressed hope that one day a just and lasting peace will be achieved, and putin will no longer dare to seize Ukrainian territories.
