The proposed US peace plan to end the Russo-Ukrainian war requires serious negotiations, believes NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, LETA reports citing DPA.
The peace plan has encouraging elements, but there are still unresolved issues that will require further diplomatic efforts, Rutte said in an interview with the German media group RND and the Spanish newspaper El Pais.
According to the head of the alliance, Russia is suffering significant losses in personnel — about 20,000 soldiers per month, while achieving only minor successes.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, about one million Russian military personnel have been killed or seriously wounded, while Moscow has captured only about 1% of Ukrainian territory this year and advances only a few meters each day, Rutte noted.
In recent days, US diplomatic activity has intensified in an effort to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Washington representatives held meetings with high-ranking Ukrainian officials in Geneva, and with the Russian delegation in Abu Dhabi.
US President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that Washington is "very close" to reaching an agreement with Ukraine and Russia to end the nearly four-year war.
