NATO chef Mark Rutte said on Saturday that he told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenskyy that he should find a way to restore his relationship with President Donald Trump after the collision of the White House during a Friday meeting.
“It is important that President Zensky finds a way to restore his relationship with the US President and with the Senior American Leadership Team,” Rutte told the BBC, commenting on a phone call he had with Zensky on Friday.
He described the meeting in the White House as 'unhappy'.
Rutte's terrible warning to the president of the war comes as Zensky with Trump and vice-president JD Vance in the Oval Office about the circumstances of a possible ceasefire with Russia.
Tempers flared up on all sides, where Trump threatened to leave Ukraine completely when Zensky did not agree with his peace conditions.
He and Vance also repeatedly accused Zolensky of not being grateful for the ongoing military support of America of Ukraine, who received a total of around $ 100 billion per recent estimate.
In the meantime, Zensky showed photos of the destruction of his country to Trump, while he also claimed that he thanked the American people for their help.
The scream match was different from everything once publicly seen in the Oval Office. And it took place on TV screens around the world.

Trump and Zensky are seen in the Oval Office and argue about what a wind in the war between Ukraine and Russia should look like
Zensky was left when Vance claimed that Trump was trying to enter into diplomacy, while President Joe Biden was unable to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine from 2022 and talk about Vladimir Putin for four years. '
“He occupies large parts of Ukraine. Parts of the east and parts of the Crimea. He occupied it in 2014, 'Zelensky replied, referring to Putin. “Nobody stopped him in 2014. He occupied and took. He killed people. '
Zensky added that he signed a ceasefire with Russia in 2019 -also signed a treaty by Germany and France. He claimed that Putin has violated that agreement by launching raids and not complying with a prisoner-swap deal.
“What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you talking about?” Zensky asked the vice president.
“I am talking about the kind of diplomacy that will end the destruction of your country,” said Vance.
When Zensky tried to cut, Vance continued with: 'Mr. President, Mr President, with respect, I think it is not respect for you to come to the Oval Office to litigate this for the American media. At the moment you are going around and you force service to the front lines because you have manpower problems. '
“You should thank the president for trying to put an end to this conflict,” Vance added.
Zelensky further angry Trump and Vance when he made a comment about the US with 'a beautiful ocean' who separated it from conflict.
The meeting became sour, especially after Zensky made a comment about the US who had a 'nice ocean' that separated it from conflict in Europe
'First of all, everyone has problems during the war. Even you, but you have a nice ocean and you don't feel it now, but you will feel it in the future. '
Trump jumped in to say: 'Do not tell us what we are going to feel. We try to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel … You are not able to dictate what we are going to feel. '
“You are gambling with the Second World War,” Trump roared to Zensky at one point.
Trump repeatedly reminded the Ukrainian leader that he needs American support to continue the war effort against Putin.
'You don't have the cards. With us you have the cards. But without us you don't have cards, “Trump said.
In a message about truth that thinks socially about the tense back and forth, Trump wrote:. “It is amazing what comes out of emotion, and I have found that President Zensky is not ready for peace when America is involved.
“Because he feels that our involvement gives him a big advantage of the negotiations. I don't want an advantage, I want peace. He respected the United States of America in his cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace. '
After the cameras left the Oval Office, Zensky went to a holding room in the west wing. He and Trump no longer met.
Zensky saw the White House left about two hours after his arrival. He then placed his own message on social media
National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and State Secretary Marco Rubio, who were in the Oval Office meeting, went and told Zensky that his meetings in the White House were over, said an official of the White House.
The two leaders have never had their planned lunch. White House Reporters saw it sitting in the corridor outside the Oval Office, untouched.
Trump and Zensky were planned to participate in a press conference later on Friday. That was canceled.
Zensky saw the White House left about two hours after his arrival. He then placed his own message on social media.
He wrote:: Thank you America, thanks for your support, thanks for this visit. Thank you @potus, the congress and the American people. Ukraine needs fair and permanent peace, and we work exactly for that. '
