NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, during a visit to Odesa, Ukraine on April 15, 2025, stated that the US-brokered ceasefire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia are "not easy," particularly after recent escalations in violence. This contrasts with claims from President Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, who suggested progress was imminent following a meeting with Vladimir Putin. Rutte condemned Russia's attacks on Ukrainian civilians, referencing a recent double missile strike in Sumy that killed at least 35 civilians on Sunday.
