Trump and Putin meet without a deal - Selenskyj's solution!

Alaska, USA - President Donald Trump will not strive for a agreement on the Ukraine War at his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. According to [OE24], the meeting of Trump is referred to as the "exploratory meeting", in which he wants to ask Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Trump has announced that it would regain areas for Ukraine and allow possible changes in the area in an agreement. He particularly emphasized that the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj does not consider area taxes to Russia for a peace solution.

In the run -up to the summit, Trump plans to call Selenskyj immediately after his conversation with Putin. He also announced a future three -way meeting with both. Chancellor Friedrich Merz will organize talks with Trump, Selenskyj and leading European heads of government before meeting Putin. To this end, Merz has convened a virtual meeting with heads of state and government from France, Great Britain, Italy, Poland as well as the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and NATO general secretary Mark Rutte.

virtual consultations on the Ukraine crisis

The aim of these consultations is to discuss options for action to increase the pressure on Russia and to discuss steps in a possible peace process. The topics will also deal with the future of the areas occupied by Russia and the necessary security guarantees for Ukraine. This video conference is initially started with the European partners and Selenskyj, followed by a meeting between Trump and the US Vice President JD Vance.

The German Federal Government emphasized the need to integrate Ukraine into these peace solutions. A deputy government spokesman said that Ukraine was crucial for sustainable peace, and Poland also demands the involvement of Ukraine in the peace negotiations. Selenskyj recently emphasized that he sees a "real chance" on peace and that he is maintaining constant communication with other heads of state and government. He spoke to the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about efforts to acquire peace and sanctions against Russian oil.

outlook on future negotiations

The persistent attacks in Russia in Ukraine are in contrast to Putin's claim that it is open to diplomatic negotiations. Russian demands aim at the surrender of Kiev and a waiver of territory, while Ukraine strictly rejects these demands. Trump has also criticized the Ukrainian President because he ascribes his responsibility for the continued conflict and claims that Ukraine could have completed a deal to avoid war. This rejected Selenskyj as a takeover of Russian propaganda.

The situation remains tense. With regard to the ongoing conflicts, it becomes clear that basic differences about security guarantees and the Russian-Ukrainian border hinder a successful dialogue. The political negotiations have so far failed, and the threat of further military aggression is still perceived as a constant danger. While Ukraine continues to focus on success on the battlefield in order to stir up optimism, the diplomatic solution remains difficult.
