Trump Says He is Setting up Meeting for Zelenskyy and Putin
US President Donald Trump said he was looking for Russian President Vladimir Putin and began to hold a meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a critical step to put an end to Russia’s Ukrainian War. Trump said the position of the meeting will be determined later.
Trump, Zelenskyy and European leaders met at the White House on Monday for multilateral meetings after Trump came together on August 15 with Putin and closed other leaders. European political leaders, from any aggression from Moscow meant to protect Ukraine and the continent, while participating in discussions.
What should be known about the White House meeting:
Security Guarantees for Ukraine: Possible NATO -like security guarantees at the discussion table that Ukraine will need any peace with Russia. Putin is facing Ukraine to join NATO, but Trump’s team claims to be open to allies who agreed to defend Ukraine if the Russian leader is attacked.
Announcement of the Crimea: On Sunday night, Trump claimed that Ukraine could not regain the Crimea, which Russia annexed illegally in 2014, and led to an armed conflict that led to a wider invasion. Trump said that Putin reiterated that he wanted the key Donetsk and Luhansk regions that make up Donbas.
A Potential Peace Agreement: Trump left a pressure for the ceasefire by discussing for a complete peace agreement, a position held by Putin. Moscow said that he hadn’t been interested in a temporary ceasefire for a long time, looking for a long -term settlement that took into account the interests of the Kremlin. The president’s deputies argue that the pivot is due to the strong progress made at the summit.
