LONDON, March 1, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The United States, Ukraine and Europe need to "stick together" in order to secure a "durable peace" in Ukraine, NATO chief Mark Rutte told the BBC on Saturday.

"I have been twice on the phone now with President (Volodymyr) Zelensky. I told him this, we need to stick together, the United States, Ukraine and Europe to bring Ukraine to a durable peace," Rutte said, a day after the Ukrainian leader clashed with US President Donald Trump at the White House.
