Nato's Secretary General Mark Rutte says, after a meeting with US President Donald Trump on Thursday, that it is Russia that must deliver in the negotiations on ceasefire, not Ukraine.

There is something on the table now, I believe, where the Ukrainians are really playing ball. And I believe the ball is clearly on the Russian half, says Rutte.

Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to visit Moscow this week for talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
