Reference News website reported on April 16 that according to a report on the Singapore Straits Times website on April 15, NATO Secretary General Rett said that US President Trump's efforts to promote peace and ceasefire in Ukraine were "not easy".
The media quoted reports from Agence France-Presse as saying that Rett made a surprise visit to the Ukrainian port city of Odessa on April 15, and after meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, he said: "After such violence, this kind of dialogue will certainly not be easy, but we all support President Trump's efforts to promote peace."
Rett's remarks formed a sharp contrast with those of Trump's envoy Witkov, who claimed after talks with Russian President Putin that "a peace agreement is gradually taking shape".
Reports said that despite US mediation efforts continuing, there has been no substantial progress in achieving a ceasefire in Ukraine. The Kremlin rejected the US-Ukrainian unconditional ceasefire plan in March.
Zelenskyy called on the international community to quickly form and deploy foreign security forces before the peace agreement was reached to prevent another attack by Russia. He said that the UK, France, and other NATO member countries were already preparing for the deployment of security forces in Ukraine. "We must complete this process quickly and efficiently," he said.
He also told Rett that Ukraine urgently needed to strengthen its air defense capabilities. "Everyone knows how urgent Ukraine's need for air defense systems and missiles is. We discussed this issue in detail today," he said.
