NATO chief tells AFP 'very difficult to say' if Ukraine peace any closer
- On Thursday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told AFP it remains unclear whether recent talks between United States envoys and Vladimir Putin in Moscow have brought peace in Ukraine any nearer.
- US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are working daily to end the conflict, Rutte said during a summit of European leaders in Dublin, emphasizing the United States, Europe, and Ukraine remain "on the same page."
- Comparing current dialogue to Cold War talks with the Soviet Union, the NATO chief suggested it "was not strange" to discuss broader security issues with Russia.

- Rutte stated that specific terms of any potential agreement are currently being discussed, declaring, "This is not a discussion" regarding Russia's prior demands.
