On Jan. 27, Andrey Isayev, a member of Russia's State Duma (the lower house of parliament), accused U.S. President Donald Trump of trying to "rudely" force Russian President Vladimir Putin to start peace negotiations with Ukraine. [...]
"Trump threatened our president rather rudely, it must be said, pressuring to start the negotiations and reminding of Qaddafi's fate."

This quote is not real, however. There is no proof that Rutte has ever said or implied that he would expel the U.S. from NATO, and Rutte congratulated the incoming President on his victory in a post on X just two days after Election Day.
Rubio has commented on the need for a pragmatic approach to end the Ukraine conflict, but he hasn't suggested allowing Russia to control Ukrainian territory as a solution. During a recent interview on NBC's Meet the Press and on the Today Show, Rubio said the war appears to be in a "stalemate" and argued for a negotiated settlement as a realistic path to peace. He highlighted the bravery of Ukrainians but expressed concern about the U.S. funding a prolonged conflict, suggesting that a practical end to the hostilities should be prioritized to prevent further destruction and economic strain on Ukraine.
