NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte rejects a return to Russia's 2021 security proposals in a diplomatic roundup from Ukraine's 24 Kanal (24 Канал), which examines a central question in the Ukraine negotiations: who gets to shape Europe's security arrangements?
Journalist Oleksiy Dushka presents Moscow's demands for an end to NATO's eastward expansion and a rollback to its 1997 posture. In the footage, Rutte describes the earlier Russian proposals as unacceptable, ruling them out as a model for future arrangements. The discussion concerns not only ending the fighting in Ukraine, but also the security framework that would follow.
The report follows Jared Kushner and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to Dublin for a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after their Moscow visit. Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, says an agreement cannot be concluded without Europeans at the negotiating table. Zelenskyy says the American team has made progress in discussions with European counterparts and stresses their participation in the next meeting.
That emphasis on participation is followed by French President Emmanuel Macron's argument that European countries should formulate their own peace plan and define the future security architecture. These are statements about how negotiations should proceed, rather than an announcement of a completed settlement.
Dushka also examines the public presentation of the Moscow talks. A Russian television excerpt shows presenter Olga Skabeyeva reporting that the departing American delegation received two white Russian Olympic winter jackets. Separately, the roundup carries Vladimir Putin's proposal for a humanitarian mission to evacuate civilians and Witkoff's statement that Trump is determined to end the conflict. The video does not establish an agreed evacuation operation.
The opening section turns to the battlefield, reporting a Ukrainian drone strike on Lukoil's refinery in Volgograd, in southwestern Russia. Dushka also relays the regional governor's differing account: that there were no direct hits and that intercepted drone debris struck the site. The competing descriptions remain attributed, while the later diplomatic sections show how far apart the parties remain on the terms of European security.
