Sun Mar 02 01:05:56 UTC 2025: ## Zelenskyy and Trump’s Feud Threatens Ukraine Peace Talks: NATO Chief
**London, March 2, 2025** – NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has revealed that he urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to mend fences with U.S. President Donald Trump following a reported explosive White House meeting on Friday. The meeting, described as “unfortunate” by Mr. Rutte, reportedly involved a significant disagreement between the two leaders.
Mr. Rutte, speaking to the BBC, stated he emphasized to President Zelenskyy the importance of respecting President Trump’s contributions to Ukraine, specifically citing the 2019 supply of Javelin anti-tank missiles crucial in the early stages of the war with Russia. He stressed the continued commitment of the U.S. administration to a lasting peace in Ukraine.
European leaders are convening in London today, where discussions are expected to focus on providing Ukraine with security guarantees as part of future peace negotiations. The reported rift between Presidents Zelenskyy and Trump casts a shadow over these efforts, raising concerns about the potential impact on international cooperation in securing a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
