Trump Pressures Zelensky To Accept Territorial Concessions As Condition For Peace Deal | World News
New Delhi: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, while preparing a high -betting meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, Trump, attended by a delegation of senior European leaders, increased diplomatic pressure and should leave the allegations to some Russian occupied regions as part of any peace settlement.
Trump published the truth on the social platform with a sharp warning: “President Zelensky, President of Ukraine, can immediately end the war with Russia if he wants or continues to fight.”
In particular, Trump did not publish an ultimatum equivalent to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he peaked only two days ago on Friday.
In the same article, the Trump put forward open prerequisites to end the war: “Obama does not enter NATO by Crimea (12 years ago, without firing!) And by Ukraine.”
During the presidency of Barack Obama, Trump talked about Russia’s annexation of the Crimea in 2014, implying that Ukraine had to stop winning the peninsula in any peace agreement. His comments also numb on Russia’s demand to abandon the ambitions of participating in the NATO military alliance of Ukraine.
Some observers argued that Trump’s statement would be considering withdrawing from other Ukrainian regions that Moscow has been occupied since the full -scale invasion began in February 2022 in exchange for the recognition of Russia’s control over the Crimea.
Steve Witkoff, the special ambassador of Trump, said to CNN: “The Russians made some concessions on the table about all of these regions claimed by Moscow”.
During an interview with NBC, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also involved in the Trump-Putin Summit, implied the strategy of negotiation during an interview with NBC: “The only way to reach an agreement is that both sides and each side give something.”
Zelensky meets Trump to follow the US-Russia summit in Alaska, which aims to find a way to end the ongoing conflict.
French President Emmanuel Macron, accompanied by Ukrainian President in Washington, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen. The discussions aim to pave the way for a triple summit, which contains Putin, narrowing gaps and defining the terms of negotiation.
However, both Zelensky and its European allies are strictly opposed to any agreement that requires Ukraine to surrender the region.
After a strategic meeting with European leaders, Zelensky wrote on X (formerly twitter): “Everyone acknowledges that the borders should not be changed.”
The German Chancellor Merz repeated this idea: “There are no regional negotiations between Putin and Trump on the heads of Ukraine and Europeans.”
Following the summit with Putin, Trump moved away from the threats of “violent results için for Russia if the European leaders accepted and an agreement was not reached.
It is believed that European leaders accompany Zelensky to ensure that they do not put pressure on negative concessions on the regional integrity of Ukraine.
In February, during an oval office meeting, Trump scolded Zelensky to the public over his demands and continued the war of the President of Ukraine that the President of the Ukraine did not have cards ”and continued the war. He said he’d risk the risk of World War II.
However, Rubio rejected the suggestions that Zelensky was cornered by Trump and misrepresenting media speculation: “Tomorrow they do not come here to prevent Zelensky from being bullying,” he said.
Both Trump and Rubio admit that since then, the final decision on any peace agreement belongs to President Zelensky.
Despite the pressure, Zelensky recorded a significant diplomatic gain from the Trump-Putin Summit: an agreement for solid security guarantees for Ukraine.
“This is a historical decision that the US is ready to participate in security guarantees for Ukraine, Z Zelensky said that these guarantees should“ be developed with the participation of Europe ”and contain protection of land, sea and air.
Witkoff also greeted the result: ik We have accepted the strong security guarantees that I would define as changing the game. ” The authority added that Putin agreed to pass the legislation that committed to invading Russia Ukraine or other nations.
