What is Zelenskyy, Europe asking Trump before the Putin’s summit? | Russia-Ukraine, news war

European leaders are scrambling to persuade US President Donald Trump using his upcoming saying with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to amplify pressure on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine on acceptable conditions in Kiev.

Trump, who promised to end a three -year war, plans to meet Putin in Alaska on FridaySaying that the parties are close to the deal that can solve the conflict.

Trump recently told the correspondents, “I am going to speak to Vladimir Putin, and I will tell him,” You have to end this war. You must finish it. “

The US President said that Kyiv and Moscow would have to waive the land in a compromise. “There will be some land exchange,” he said. In the past, Trump discussed the possibility of land bodies. However, Russia nor Ukraine was not interested in the landing of the lands to each other as part of a peace deal.

European leaders Worry This main concessions of Russia can create security problems for the region in the future. On Wednesday, August 13th, the main European leaders first progress with each other and with Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinsky and are scheduled to speak to Trump and US Vice President JD Vance.

Here is what Europe and Ukraine requested from Trump, and he is preparing to meet with Putin;

Keep Ukraine in the room

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Zelinski said he would not be at the top of Alaska, the first face to face between Trump and Putin with both of them in his post since 2018.

But he said that he hoped that a “triple meeting” with Trump and Putin would follow him, although the Russian leader has so far said that he is not ready to meet Zellinsky.

“I think Trump represents the United States of America. He works as a mediator – he is in the center, not alongside Russia. Let him not be by our side but in the middle.”

On August 9, heads of state from France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and the European Commission issued a statement of Ukraine’s support. They said: “We emphasize our steadfast commitment to regional sovereignty, independence and safety in Ukraine,” adding: “We still stand firmly alongside Ukraine.”

The statement also insisted that “the path of peace in Ukraine cannot be determined without Ukraine.”

German Chancellor Friedrich Mirz, who holds a video call on Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Zelenskyy and many European leaders to discuss Ukraine, have since been doubled in this message.

“We cannot accept that regional issues between Russia and America have been discussed or even decided on European presidents, against Ukrainian presidents,” Mirz said in a television interview on Sunday.

“I assume that the American government sees this in the same way. That is why there is this close coordination,” he added.

“The United States has the power to compel Russia to negotiate seriously,” Kaja Calas said on August 10, on August 10, but “any deal between the United States and Russia Ukraine and the inclusion of the European Union must have the issue of Ukraine and all of the security of Europe.”

The ceasefire first

Last week, Putin made the Trump administration a ceasefire proposal, calling for the main regional concessions of Kiev in eastern Ukraine in exchange for ending the fighting, according to European officials.

The show, which Putin shared with our special envoy Steve Witkev on August 6, began a scrambling for more information. According to Zelinski, Putin requested that Russia be handed over all over East Ukraine Donetsk areaA third of Kiev is still carrying.

But European and Ukraine leaders responded to a hostile progress on their own, they were sent at a meeting with senior US officials in Britain on Saturday. The European plan rejected Russia’s suggestion of Donetsk for a ceasefire.

This also included demands for a ceasefire before taking any other steps and insisting that the lands can only be exchanged in a mutual way.

Finally, the proposal states that any regional concessions made by Kyiv must be protected by security guarantees, including the potential NATO membership in Ukraine.

Ukraine has also long argued that stopping the fighting must precede any long -term peace agreement. Russia, on the other hand, insisted on settling a larger peace as a ceasefire condition.

What did Zelenskyy say?

At the end of last week, Zelinski said that Kiev “will not give Russia any awards for what it did,” and that “the Ukrainians will not give their lands to the occupier.”

Zelenskyy also indicated that he does not have the authority to registration on land bodies. He said that changing the borders of Ukraine in 1991 contradict the country’s constitution.

“He (Putin) is certainly not preparing for a ceasefire or ending the war,” Zelenskyy said in a video posted on his account on social media on Monday night.

“There is no indication that the Russians have received signals to prepare for post -war mode,” he said.

He added: “On the contrary, they republish their forces and forces in ways that propose preparations for new offensive operations. If someone is preparing for peace, this is not what he does.”

What did Trump said?

On Monday, Trump Zelinski criticized the Ukrainian leader’s resistance to the lands of assignment of Russia, saying that he does not agree to “extremely severe” with Zelinski.

Trump told reporters at the White House: “I agree with Zelinski, but, as you know, I do not agree with what he did. I do not agree very much, this is a war that should never have happened,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Trump went on to say: “You bothered me a little from the fact that Zelinski was saying,” Well, I must get constitutional approval. “I mean, he obtained approval to go to war and kill everyone, but he needs to agree to make land exchanges – because there will be some land exchange.”

He added that the land swap will be “for the interest of Ukraine”, before adding that the potential deal will also include “some bad things for both” KYIV and Moscow.

“So, this is good and there is bad, but it is very complicated, because you have very uneven lines, and there will be some swap. There will be some changes on the ground,” Trump said.

He said: “We will hold a meeting with Vladimir Putin, and at the end of that meeting, perhaps in the first two minutes, I will know exactly whether a deal can be made.”

“In the end, I will put the two in a room. I will be there, or I will not be there, and I think it will be resolved,” Trump added.
