EU leaders push to consult with Trump ahead of Putin meeting on Ukraine | Ukraine

European leaders, who claim to represent an existential threat for Russia’s continents, claim that he forced Europe’s red lines before the meeting with Vladimir Putin to discuss the Ukrainian War in Alaska on Friday.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk added that he was optimistic that the US President would officially consult the European leaders before his meeting, and that the summit between Trump and Putin filled him with hope and fear.

The call for official consultations is one of the results expected from an emergency virtual meeting of EU Foreign Ministers, which were gathered by EU external affairs chief Kaja Kallas on Monday. The meeting is also expected to request Russia to accept a ceasefire and to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In addition to trying to make a call between the European leaders and the US president in the crazy weekend diplomacy, he played a pioneering role in determining the limits of what Trump offers to Putin at any meeting.

Before the EU meeting, Kallas insisted: “President Trump says that Russia should end his war against Ukraine. The United States has the power to force Russia seriously.”

“Any agreement between the US and Russia should include Ukraine and the EU, because it is a security problem for Ukraine and the whole Europe.”

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said, arguing the relevance of Europe, he said: uz We are paying money for Europe’s defense of Ukraine and continue the Ukraine state. This is a matter of existential European security interests. We appreciate the efforts of President Trump, but we will take our own decisions in Europe.

“In order to achieve a fair peace, Russia has to limit war goals”.

The White House insists that the Alaska meeting was to measure whether Putin is willing to make concessions for peace, including accepting Western security guarantees for Ukraine, which is an admission to accept the long -term legitimacy of the Kiev government led by Zelenskyy.

Trump, who has been more impatient to the Russian leader in recent months, said he had not seen a ceasefire until he has met Putin for a long time.

However, European diplomats were surprised by the lack of clarity on the regions and cease -fire conditions requested by Putin from Ukraine. The inconsistencies that declare what Russia’s alarm diplomats are looking for in the United States and the fear that Trump, who has inflated only Putin and his personal relationship with Putin, could make harmful concessions.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz spoke with Trump on Sunday night to underline that the US thought that the US would prefer more economic sanctions to Moscow before talks. He also said that Zelenskyy assumed that he would participate in any meeting, but he said that a Russian delegation would be a concession to meet with the President of Ukraine, as his invasion for Moscow decided not to recognize the legitimacy of the government.

On Saturday, a common statement from the leaders of Ursula von der Lenin, the Chief of the Chief of the Chief of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, England, Finland and the European Commission called Trump to put more pressure on Russia and stressed: “The road in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.”

Putin will enter the talks on Friday, believing that he has made progress in the battlefield, and Trump is desperate for a settlement and the people of Ukraine are willing to make concessions for peace. However, the Russian President also knows whether he has received an important proposal, and Trump will be under real political pressure to continue with the broader economic sanctions encouraged to Russia for a long time.

Secondary Sanctions to Countries Trade with Russia, the Republican Senator Lindsey Graham behind the congress plan, expressed his confidence that Ukraine’s interests will be protected by Trump at the summit. He participated in the weekend diplomacy and is trusted by Trump by Ukrainian authorities. Putin said that if he does not make concessions, Trump expects the countries that import Russian oil to pay a “heavy price, and that he applied it not only to India, but also to China and Brazil. India is already confronting 50 % tariffs later this month.

Speaking about NBC Graham, he added: “As a military, we must keep Ukraine strong, and we need to get security guarantees on the ground with European forces to prevent strong and modern weapons and a third third third place. [Russian] infestation. We want to end this with a situation in which Ukraine and Putin, who is dominant, independent, self -governing, cannot do this without being crushed for the third time. “

“I want to be honest with you, Ukraine will not evacuate every Russian and Russia does not go to Kiiv, so there will be some black swaps.”

Ukraine’s leadership for a long time, the actual, said that he would not save all the regions he has lost in the following Russian invasions, but with the support of European support, Russia should be delivered to the region in the Donetsk region, especially by Russia, there is no security guarantee for land swaps, but there is no security guarantee by Russia for land swaps.

Europeans insist that Ukraine cannot be given any limitation that develops their own military capabilities or develops support from third countries, including some NATO.
