Trump, Zelinski, others called for Ukraine meetings before the Putin -national summit

On Monday, German Chancellor Friedrich Mirz invited US President Donald President Donald TrumpUkrainian President Volodimir ZelinskiThe head of NATO and many European leaders in virtual meetings on Wednesday before the American Russian Summit, where Europe and KYIV worry that a deal be made without them.

Zelenskyy nor European leaders were invited to Friday’s summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin In Alaska.

The German counselor said in a statement that the virtual talks will focus on “other options to work to pressure Russia” as well as “preparations for possible peace negotiations and relevant issues of regional demands and security.”

The European Commission confirmed that President Ursula von der Lin will participate in “calls organized by Chancellor Mirz” before the summit.

The leaders of Britain, Finland, France, Italy and Poland are scheduled to join the “different discussion groups”. The counselor said in Berlin.

Ukraine and its supporters in Europe insist that Trump and Putin cannot make a decision on land bodies behind their appearance at the top, but the Europeans admit that Moscow is unlikely to give up controlling the Ukrainian lands it keeps.

Trump suggested that the peace agreement could include “some land swap”, but Europeans do not see any sign that Russia will make anything for exchange.

The European Union foreign ministers met on Monday after talking about Ukraine between American and European security consultants during the weekend. They are concerned that Putin will try to demand a political victory by photographing Ukraine as flexible.

Fears in Europe and Ukraine have left that Kiev may be pressured to give up the ground or accept other restrictions on its sovereignty. Ukraine and its European allies reject the idea that Putin should demand any region even before approving the ceasefire.

“While we are working for sustainable and fair peace, international law is clear: all the temporary lands are temporarily belonging to Ukraine,” said the head of the European Union.

“Sustainable peace also means that the aggression cannot be rewarded.”

“It should be clear to Poland and our European partners – and I hope the state’s borders cannot be changed by force,” said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. He said, according to the Polish News Agency PAP.

However, it is difficult to ignore reality on the ground.

In 2022, Russia included the regions of Donetsk and Luhanssk in eastern Ukraine, and Khirrson and Zaburisia in the south, although it does not control it completely. It also occupies the Crimea, which was seized in 2014.

On the front line of 1000 km (620 miles), the largest army in Russia has made slow but costly with its summer attack. The uncompromising bombing in urban areas has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, according to United Nations estimates.

“In the end, the issue of the fact that the Russians should be controlled at this moment, in fact, part of Ukraine on the table” in any peace talks after the Alaska summit.

Roti said that Western supporters in Ukraine “can never accept this in the legal sense,” but he suggested that they may recognize the implicit Russian control.

It compared it to the way the United States hosted by the diplomatic missions in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from 1940 to 1991, “in recognition that the Soviet Union was controlling those lands, but it (never) does not accept the legal sense.”

It will be impossible for any area, especially without a ceasefire agreement first, it is impossible for Zelinski to sell it at home after the death of thousands of forces to defend their lands.

Ultimately, Putin is seen by some analysts as not interested in the same land, but in Ukraine, the “friendly” “friendly” in Russia is unlikely to try to join NATO, just like the separatist supporting areas of Russia in Georgia, as this country has complicated to become a member of this country.

Zelenskyy insists that stopping the fighting on the confrontation line should be the starting point for negotiations, and supported by Europeans. They say that any future land bodies should be Ukraine to decide and not be a pre -ceased ceasefire.

Demands on Earth can also be part of negotiations on the type of security guarantees that Ukraine may receive to ensure that no other war is erupted.

Europeans believe that Kiev’s best defense is strong armed forces to deter Russia from beating again. They insist that there should be no restrictions on the size of the Ukraine army, equipment, weapons and ammunition that you can possess or sell.

Moreover, they say that Ukraine should not be restricted in its choice to join or force the European Union to become a neutral state.

The Trump administration has already taken Ukraine membership in NATO off the table in the foreseeable future.
