MOSCOW (Sputnik) - After his failed talks with US President Trump on Friday, Ukraine's Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News that he believed he did not do anything wrong and refused to apologize to the US leader.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte described on Saturday the confrontation between Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, as "unfortunate" and advised Zelensky to find a way to restore his relationship with the US leader.

"It is important that Zelensky find a way to restore his relationship with the American president and with the senior American leadership team. I discussed this yesterday with Zelensky," Rutte said in an interview with the BBC, commenting on the phone talk after what he called an "unfortunate" incident.

Kiev should respect what Trump has done for Ukraine, including weapons supplies during his previous term as the US president, Rutte added.
