Vance and Lammy host Ukraine talks ahead of US-Russia summit

US Vice President JD Vance and British Foreign Minister David Lammy are hosting a meeting of senior security officers near London to discuss the war in Ukraine.

On Saturday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and that they would be a vital forum to discuss progress to provide a fair and lasting peace.

Zelensky stressed that it will not make a regional concession to Russia. Summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin To discuss the future of the war next week.

Trump said that Ukraine may have to leave the region to end the war that began in February 2022 with the full -scale invasion of Russia in February 2022.

It is understood that the meeting on Saturday was called at Chevening, the official country residence in the city where Vance and his family are currently staying, and at the US request.

Senior security guards from the USA, Ukraine and Europe will participate.

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska on August 15 to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine.

Speaking about a potential agreement to end the war, Trump said on Friday, “both regions will be exchanged” to improve “, he said.

“You are looking at the fighting area for three and a half years, many Russians are dead for three and a half years. Many Ukrainian died.” He said.

Russia insisted on recognizing Russian sovereignty in a few Ukraine regions of Ukraine, to accept and abandon NATO’s desires.

Trump’s position also involved in the constant sacrifice of Ukraine’s land for peace.

Zelensky has made it clear that he was unacceptable under the Ukrainian Constitution and that he would only reward Russia because he started the war.

Zelensky said in a telegraph on Saturday that the Ukrainians would not give the soil to the invader ve and reiterated that Ukraine should be involved in any solution for peace.

Although Ukrainian President Trump not to criticize, his task on social media clearly reveals that he will not accept it.

On Saturday, Zelensky said that Ukraine was ready for “real solutions that can bring peace”, but underlined that Ukraine should be involved.

“Any solution to us, non -Ukraine solutions are solutions against peace at the same time,” he said.

“Together with President Trump, we are ready to work with all partners for a real and most importantly permanent peace – a peace that will not collapse because of Moscow’s wishes.”

Ukraine and many European Allies were always worried – Trump and Putin are trying to make an agreement without Ukraine.

In a mission in X on Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron warned that Ukraine’s future will “be decided without Ukrainians” and “Europeans will be part of the solution because their security is in danger”.

Trump’s words about Russia may have hardened in recent months, but they have not yet followed concrete actions for Ukraine.

The last date for the US president to accept Russia’s ceasefire or encounter more sanctions was passed without a distinctive result.

BBC’s US partner CBS News, referring to the senior White House official, reported that Zelensky remains possible, and that the planning for the Friday meeting is still fluent, said Putin and Trump could somehow attend the meeting between Putin and Trump.

On the ground, there is a resignation that the first peace talks may not include Ukraine.

There is a strong desire to speak to the BBC between soldiers and civilians. There is constant fighting and exhaustion of Russian drone and missile attacks.

However, there is little evidence that Ukraine is willing to accept a peace at any price – much less to be forced without hearing.
