European leaders, including Britain’s Keir Starmer, will join Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenkyy at the White House meeting on Monday with a coordinated effort to force a “peace plan ılan which is approved by the US that will allow Russia to take over the Ukrainian region.

A video meeting organized by England, France and Germany is expected to take place with other European allies on Sunday. Trump will support the plan to leave the empty Ukrainian territory to Russia to end the war between the two countries.
Trump said he believed that a peace agreement could be negotiated if Zelenskyy agreed to give up the Donbas region, where Russian invaders could not fight for more than three years. New York Times ReportIt refers to two senior European officials.
Two sources with direct information about the talks in Alaska, Guardian, said that Putin demanded that Ukraine be withdrawn from Donbas consisting of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but leaving it as a condition to end the war.
Although Luhansk is almost completely under Russian control, Ukraine still has the locks of Donetsk, including heavy -reinforced positions, which still cost Kramatorsk and Slovians, and its defense, which cost tens of thousands of life.
In exchange for Donetsk and Luhansk to Trump, Putin said that Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, whose Russian forces occupy important areas, would stop and freeze the front facade in the southern Ukrainian region.
Trump’s support for the Donbas region of Ukraine, which is rich in mineral resources, including coal and iron ore, expresses his support to a direct peace agreement to Russia, not through a ceasefire, but not through a cease -fire, not through a ceasefire, In a social media post On Saturday, “Most of the time does not last”.
The US support for the US to give Donbas to Russia represents a violation of such an agreement with its Ukraine and European allies. Accordingly ReutersRussia offers withdrawal from 440 km2 in Sumy and Kharkiv regions, while demanding Donbas of 6,600 km2.
Merz said on Saturday, as part of an agreement, the US is ready to be a part of security guarantees for Ukraine. If Trump rejected an agreement and came to Alaska, he threatened economic penalties in the countries that bought Russian oil if the bombing plane on the Russian leader flies us.
However, Ukrainian and European leaders are afraid that a flat agreement agreement that jumps a fire fire will give up to Moscow in negotiations.
Former British Defense Minister Ben Wallace, who spoke to the BBC on Sunday, said that Monday’s oval office talks would lead to peace. Trump and Vice President JD Vance, when they attacked Zelenskyy at their previous meetings in February, he said he hoped that “non -unifying Chinese movement” would not be repeated.
Wallace, Trump’s approval of Putin’s land demands, said the style of the 1930s was “soothe”. He said that the strategy can save life in the “short term ,, but in the long run,“ in the long run to take us more at risk ”.
In a statement on Saturday, Trump claimed that although European leaders were not their opinion, it was better to go directly to a peace agreement.
A joint statement Published by European leaders, “US President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy with the support of European support are ready to work towards a tripartite summit”, but “decision to decide in the region will be left to Ukraine. International borders should not be forcibly replaced,” he said.
“President Trump’s stopping in Ukraine, the stopping of Russia’s efforts to end the aggression war and to achieve fair and permanent peace,” they said.
Said Zelenskyy A statement After his speeches with Trump and European leaders: “Positions are open. A real peace should be achieved, not only another pause between Russian invasions, but the murders should stop as soon as possible, the fire must stop both in the battlefield and in our harbor infrastructure. War and civilians should be released.
On Saturday, a later statement on social media, he added that the movement of going directly to a peace agreement without a ceasefire “complicated the situation”.
Moscow, “If he lacks a simple desire to give a simple order to stop the strikes, it may require much effort that Russia has a much larger – peaceful desire to live together with its neighbors for decades,” Moscow said.
He said European leaders, including the French President, Macron, Merz and Starmer, were preparing to argue through a video call before meeting Zelenskyy problems with Trump on Sunday.
Olga Tokariuk, a man in the European Policy Analysis Center, said Zelenskyy is a “difficult task ında in Washington. He had to show that Ukraine wanted peace to make Ukrainian support us, but not at all costs, not at any cost, not at any cost.
It was unlikely that Trump would treat Zelenskyy with the same friendship as Putin ”. “The United States under Trump is no longer willing to stand by its democratic allies, he embraces the oppressors,” he added.
