Zelensky Must Find a Way to Restore Relationship with Trump, Nato Chief

We're now hearing from Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte, who tells the BBC he has spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky twice following the White House meeting.

He says he is "not at liberty to say what was discussed" but shares that he told Zelensky "we have to respect" what Trump has done for Ukraine so far.

Speaking to the BBC, he says Zelensky must "find a way" to restore his relationship with his US counterpart Donald Trump after the two clashed in the White House.

He adds that during Trump's first administration - from 2017 to 2020 - the US approved the sale of the Javelin anti-tank missile system which enabled Ukraine to "fight back" when Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.

"We really have to give Trump credit," Rutte adds.
