In a bold response, Rutte called Zelensky’s attacks on Scholz “unfair,” stating that such criticism undermines diplomatic efforts.
The tension arose after Zelensky publicly condemned Scholz for his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his refusal to supply Ukraine with advanced weaponry, such as Taurus cruise missiles.
Rutte's statement reflects growing concern over the impact of internal disagreements on European unity and NATO’s collective strategy.
Watch now to see Rutte’s strong rebuke of Zelensky’s actions.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told Donald Trump "let's do a deal" as he offered the US a partnership over Ukraine's stores of rare earth and minerals. Sky News
President Donald Trump has made a shocking move by dismantling the U.S. Justice Department’s task force that targeted Russian oligarchs and enforced sanctions against the Kremlin’s elite. The decision, which comes as part of a shift in focus to combating drug cartels and international gangs, has sparked outrage from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The now-disbanded Task Force KleptoCapture was originally established to weaken Russian financial networks following Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Critics argue that Trump’s action benefits Putin and undermines efforts to hold Russian elites accountable. Stay tuned for reactions and geopolitical implications.

The European Union has strongly responded to President Donald Trump’s warning about tariffs, vowing to retaliate if the US imposes new trade barriers. Trump’s administration is set to target the EU with tariffs, building on previous moves against Canada, Mexico, and China. In a sharp response, EU leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, emphasized that Europe would not back down, warning that a trade war would harm both sides. While Trump has argued for fairer trade contributions from European nations, the EU insists that any new tariffs will disrupt both economies. With escalating tensions, the EU has made it clear that it will act in defense of its interests, signaling a potential showdown in global trade relations.

US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba have declared that the disputed Senkaku Islands fall under NATO’s collective defense.
