Trump and Putin: Negotiations on Ukraine start without Europe!
In a surprising telephone conversation, US President Donald Trump said that he had agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin an “immediate” start of negotiations on the future of Ukraine. This conversation took place without prior consultation with the European partners and immediately caused concern among the western allies, who feared that the Ukraine and its partners could be left out. However, the US government assured that Ukraine should be involved in the talks, as reported. Before the Munich Security Conference, US Vice President JD Vance called for a involvement of Europeans in these negotiations.Annalena Baerbock demands Ukrainian participation
In the run -up to the talks in Munich, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasized the need to respect the position of Ukraine in these negotiations. "There can be no decisions about Ukraine without Ukraine," she clarified, while she exchanged her European counterparts in Paris. The various foreign ministries, including those from France, Poland, Spain and Italy, brought their positions to be prepared for the upcoming security conference.
In a further development, Trump announced that his first personal meeting with Putin will take place in Saudi Arabia. He expressed hope for an early ceasefire in Ukraine. At the same time, US Finance Minister Scott Bessent in Kiev with President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, led to a possible draft contract for reducing important raw materials by US investors. These steps reflect the efforts of the United States to solve the conflict in Ukraine diplomatically and at the same time pursue economic interests, such as Zeitung reported.
