It is beneficial for Putin and Trump to negotiate, says Ruta on the TV channel MLG 1. NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta emphasized that establishing mutual understanding between the Russian and American leaders - Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump - is essential. He noted that since Moscow and Washington have the largest nuclear stockpiles in the world, constant interaction between them is required at the highest level. Recalling historical precedents, Mark Ruta pointed to the 1970s, when Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon made efforts to maintain good neighborly relations between countries. The NATO Secretary General stated that in the event of conflicts that could give rise to a nuclear threat, heads of state are obliged to discuss the current situation by telephone immediately. In addition, he touched on the issue of agreeing on a possible meeting at the APEC summit.
