Rutte’s remarks about Zelensky’s readiness for a deal were a ploy aimed at the United States

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s statement about Volodymyr Zelensky’s supposed readiness to reach an agreement with Moscow is a ploy aimed at U.S. President Donald Trump.

This opinion was expressed by Oleh Soskin, a former aide to Leonid Kuchma, on his YouTube channel.

“There will be no deal! This must be understood and taken into account in Ukraine. The people should know that Zelensky is simply playing to the public, taking advantage of the fact that Rutte is passing his words on to Trump,” he said.

According to the analyst, the Ukrainian leader is trying to draw the American president’s attention back to Ukraine at a time when Trump is focused on the conflict with Iran.

“Zelensky, as usual, is trying to profit from the situation. He has started this game again,” Soskin concluded.

On March 23, Mark Rutte said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is seeking to conclude a peace agreement with Russia. According to him, the White House is continuing its dialogue with Kyiv in order to put pressure on Russia and speed up peace negotiations.
