‘No going into Nato by Ukraine,’ says Trump as Zelensky prepares for White House talks

BBC News, Washington
Donald Trump said that the President of the Ukrainian President could end the war of Russia’s war, but as part of the peace agreement, “entering NATO by Ukraine”.
Hours before the host of Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House, Trump said that Moscow’s annexed Crimean Peninsula, an illegal annexation, annexed eight years before Moscow launched his full -scale invasion in 2014.
He follows Trump’s summit with the Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska, and caused the US president to reduce his demand for ceasefire and to call for a permanent peace agreement.
A US ambassador said on Sunday that Putin agreed to make a possible NATO -like security agreement for Ukraine.
Russian President constantly opposed Ukraine’s idea of participating in the military alliance.
Trump, who sent the truth to the social platform on Sunday night, said, Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, can immediately end the war with Russia or continue to fight.
“Remember how it started. Obama has not returned to the Crimea (12 years ago, without being thrown away!) And by Ukraine to go to NATO. Some things never change !!!” Trump added.
Before Trump returned to power in January, NATO countries agreed on the “irreversible path” to Kiev’s alliance membership.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will join Zelensky in Washington for negotiations about the future of Ukraine on Monday, as well as European leaders, including British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and European Commission President Ursula von. It is not clear that how many will go to the White House.
Trump then added: “Tomorrow is a big day in the White House. I never had a lot of European leaders at a time. My great honor to host them !!!”
The sky underlines high risks in the modern age, in order to make such a little notification to a war -time crisis meeting in the Atlantic.
Diplomatic sources are worried that Trump could try to suppress Zelensky to accept the conditions after European authorities were removed from the Trump-Putin meeting on the US territory last Friday.
However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that BBC is a “stupid media narrative” that Zelensky, a US partner, Zelensky, who can be typed to accept a peace agreement.
NATO leaders seem to be willing to avoid the February trip to the Oval Office, which suddenly ended after a discussion with Zelensky’s Trump and US Vice President JD Vance.
Seeing that Trump accused Zelensky of “gambling with the Third World War”, he left Washington -kyiv’s ties in Tatters.
However, European leaders have been working carefully behind the scenes to correct the relationship. The Ukrainian leader coached the speech in terms of a language echoed with Trump.
In April, Ukraine signed a mineral agreement that gave the US financial shares in the country, and Trump and Zelensky spoke specially in the Vatican before the funeral of Pope Francis. Ukraine clearly stated that he was willing to pay US weapons.
Until July, the two leaders made a telephone conversation that Ukrainian President described as the “best conversation we have”.
Meanwhile, Trump began to express the accusation of Russia for the brutal attack in Ukraine. He called Putin “absolutely crazy”, shortened his deadline for a peace agreement, and threatened economic sanctions in Moscow.
As these negotiations pass, the Russian forces continue to move forward on the battlefield. Since Moscow launched a full -scale invasion in February 2022, they have been invading almost one -fifth of Ukraine.
EPAOn Sunday, a virtual summit was held between Zelensky and Will’s so -called coalition – a group of nations that promised to protect peace in Ukraine, including England, France and Germany.
Later, Emmanuel Macron told journalists that his plans were “to offer a united front” for his meetings with Trump on Monday.
Zelensky and NATO leaders said that the US ambassador Steve Witkoff said that after saying that Putin accepted Putin’s “sound security guarantees that I will define as a game change” on Friday, they are willing to learn more.
Witkoff said such an agreement can see that Europe and the United States protect Ukraine from more aggression with a NATO -like defense agreement.
Witkoff told CNN on Sunday. He said.
Putin has long been opposed to joining NATO in Ukraine, and Witkoff said the Ukrainians could be an alternative to “if they can live with him”.
Article 5 is a principle in the center of the 32 -member Transatlantic Military Alliance, who says that its members will come to the defense of an ally under the attack.
Witkoff also told CNN that Russia has made about five heavy controversial regions of Ukraine “some concessions”.
After the Alaska Summit, Trump said that Putin repeated that he wanted the key Donetsk and Luhansk regions that make up Donbas, according to European authorities, according to European authorities.
However, at the virtual summit with NATO leaders on Sunday, Zelensky emphasized that the Ukrainian Constitution made it impossible to give up the region and that it should be discussed only by Ukraine and Russian leaders at a tripartite summit with the US.
Meanwhile, the US Secretary of State has tried to hope that an agreement may be close to end the most deadly conflict in Europe for 80 years.
“We’re still on a long road.” He said.
