Retreating Rutte! Lavrov Shuts Down, NATO Scrambles

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has acknowledged ongoing discussions about deploying European troops to Ukraine after a ceasefire, but his cautious tone suggests skepticism. While France and Britain push for security guarantees, Rutte’s mention of “other ways” signals NATO’s hesitation. Meanwhile, Russia has outright rejected the idea, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warning that any NATO military presence—regardless of its label—would be seen as an act of aggression. As Ukraine and Russia agree to a temporary 30-day ceasefire, U.S.-Russia talks may be on the horizon, but NATO’s deliberations on peacekeepers risk derailing fragile negotiations.
