Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky entered into a gentle struggle with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte over a cup of coffee during their meeting at the recent Nato summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius.
In the circulating video, it appeared that Rutte asked for a cup of coffee, which he did not receive prior to his meeting with Zelensky, to discuss the support required to be provided to Ukraine during the counterattack it is currently launching against the Russian forces.
As soon as Rutte reached the meeting table with Zelensky, who had a cup of coffee in front of him, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands asked: How did you get the coffee?
Zelensky responded by smiling, saying, "Do you want it, please have my coffee?" And he put the cup in front of him, but Rutte quickly returned it to its place, saying: No, no, you are fighting in a war... This is your coffee.
"You have to stay healthy," he added, laughing.
The Ukrainian President replied with a smile, saying, "Well, we will share it half for me and half for you."
The video clip titled, "The struggle over a cup of coffee," won the admiration of the social media users.
