Rutte said at a joint press briefing with US President Donald Trump at the White House that
if he were Vladimir Putin and heard that he [Trump] was talking about the plan of 50 days and this announcement, he would reconsider Ukraine talks in a more serious way."
Rutte also noted the importance of Trump's announcement on weapons for NATO, which will be transferred to Ukraine, and thanked for this work.
