NATO Chief: Zelenskyy 'Ready To Play Ball', Russia 'Creating Chaos' With Massive Attacks

  • NATO chief Mark Rutte stated President Zelenskyy is willing to negotiate a peace deal, but Russia's recent attacks raise doubts about Moscow's intentions.
  • Rutte's comments came during a joint press briefing with Zelenskyy in Kyiv, following a massive overnight Russian assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
  • The attack involved over 70 missiles and 450 drones, described by Rutte as potentially one of the worst attacks on Ukraine ever.
  • Rutte condemned the strikes on civilian infrastructure during winter, calling them an act of 'creating chaos for innocent citizens' rather than military action.
  • The assault, which left hundreds of thousands without heating and damaged a WWII monument, occurred just before planned peace talks in Abu Dhabi.

Why It Matters: NATO chief highlights Zelenskyy's readiness for peace talks while condemning Russia's 'chaos-creating' attacks.
