Ukraine security guarantees are unclear, as Trump says they do not participate in the American ground forces

Ukraine and its European allies have been prepared with Donald Trump’s promise at the White House Security to ensure Kiev to help end its war with Russia. However, the president stressed on Tuesday that they would not include our land forces in peacekeeping houses.

When one of the interviews in Fox News asked whether the American commitment would not include “American shoes on the ground, Trump said,” You have a confirmation, and I am president. “

The statement was not a surprise, but Trump was mysterious when he posed similar questions on Monday while he was in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelinsky.

“There will be a form of security. It cannot be NATO,” Trump said. “We are ready to help them in things, especially, most likely, if you can speak by air.”

Zelenskyy praised the extraordinary summit of the White House with the American President and many European leaders as a “big step forward” in ending the bloodiest conflict in Europe 80 years ago.

Zelinski was surrounded by allied leaders, including Germany, France and Britain at the top, and his warm relationship with Trump sharply with a catastrophic and brief meeting in February at the White House, where he was subjected to US President and Vice President JD Vance.

The hope that comes out of the Monday’s summit was that a triple meeting with Vladimir Putin and Trump could be arranged in the near future. But behind the optics, the road to peace remains very uncertain.

Constant conversation wave

Ukraine’s allies were actually a series of talks and someone called the “coalition from” Ragheb “.

“Unity between the leaders of the European Union at the virtual summit today was clear,” said the head of the European Union Foreign Policy Kaja Calas. She said that the European Union will continue to target the war economy in Russia and that the upcoming sanctions package against Moscow should be ready by next month.

Meanwhile, NATO leaders are expected to meet on Wednesday to discuss Ukraine.

Putin has warned that Russia would not tolerate the forces of the NATO alliance on Ukrainian soil. It also did not show any sign of the retreat of the demands of the region, including lands that are not currently under Russian military control, in the wake of the Alaska summit.

Trump said in an interview with Fox News he believed that Putin was “tired of (war)” but he admitted that he was not clear what the Russian leader would do after that.

“We will discover President Putin in the next two weeks,” Trump said.

Last week, the US President, the Russian leader, warned of the “dire consequences” if he was not sincere about peace talks. But so far in the second Trump administration, the United States has not applied additional sanctions to Moscow.

Obligations after the war are considered: Anand

Officials from countries that were not at the White House summit confirmed the need for continuous support for Ukraine on Tuesday.

“The leaders of Canada, Japan, Turkey, New Zealand countries and European countries evaluated the results of the Alaska meeting are very realistic,” said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk at X after a virtual meeting. “We all have stressed the need for continuous support for Ukraine in the war with Russia.”

At a joint press conference in FinlandWith their counterparts from the so -called Nordic Five, Canadian Foreign Minister Anand Anand said, “There is now an opportunity to end the illegal war of Russia in Ukraine.”

She said: “The work that the coalition of those who wish now is doing is very essential to add the structure surrounding security guarantees, especially the obligations that each country will adhere to.”

It is not clear that Canada can take. Speaking to CBC News in March, the general responsible for external and domestic operations said that the provision of ground forces for the mission of peacekeeping in Ukraine will be a challenge.

There is no commitment to Carmelin to the Putin Zelinski meeting

While the Washington talks provided a temporary feeling of comfort in Kyiv, there was no abandonment in the fighting. The Ukrainian Air Force said that Russia fired 270 drones and 10 missiles in a night attack on Ukraine. The Energy Ministry said that Russia targeted energy facilities in the central Politava region, the only home of the oil refinery in Ukraine, causing major fires.

Zelinski may have to make painful concessions to end the war, which started with the full invasion of Russia in February 2022.

Nile Melfin, director of international security at the Royal United Services Institute, told Reuters that Russia could withdraw the war while trying to move pressure by negotiating the long peace.

Melvin said the leaders appear to be “TipToeing” around Trump.

“I think there is a struggle between Ukraine and the Europeans on the one hand, and the Russians on the other hand, and not to present themselves to Trump as an obstacle to the peace process,” Melvin said, adding that it is on security guarantees, “The problem is that what Trump said is very mysterious, it is very difficult to take seriously.”

Russia has not committed to any explicit commitment to a meeting between Putin and Zelinski. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that Moscow did not reject any forms, but any meeting of national leaders “must be prepared with the utmost accuracy.”

Putin is subject to an international detention note by the International Criminal Court, a court that is not recognized by the United States.

French President Emmanuel Macron has suggested by Geneva as a possible location for any future meeting that will include Zelinski and Putin.

Switzerland is signed on the International Criminal Court, but IgNazio Cassis told the media there that if Putin is coming for the purposes of reaching a peace agreement, he will receive the Russian leader.
