NATO members’ insistence on participating in Ukrainian peace talks

Among the concerns of European capitals to participate in Ukrainian peace talks with US mediation, NATO Secretary -General Mark Route said on Thursday that Ukraine should participate in discussions about its future, but concerns that Europeans and Kiev “were” by “. US Preside Donald Trump has been trivial.

The US Preside, on Wednesday evening, began with a direct coact with Russian Preside Vladimir Putin and shocked European European allies. He showed that he had practically launched peace talks about Ukraine’s long -term conflict with his Russian couerpart.

“Of course, it is very importa for Ukraine to be closely involved in all things about Ukraine,” Route told reporters.

“You have forgotten that (Trump) also had a long phone call with Preside Zelksky (Ukraine),” he said. There is a clear convergence: we wa all peace in Ukraine, the sooner the better. We all wa Ukraine to be in the best possible situation.

The arrival of US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegst in Europe also caused a lot of coroversy. On his first trip to Brussels after approval by the US Senate, Heget told his couerparts on Wednesday that Zelansky had no chance of returning Ukraine to the borders before year 2.

He also eliminated the hopes for Kiev’s joining NATO, which Zelnsky responded, referring to the statemes of the curre governme and the former US governme, saying: “I don’t think these doors were really open.

On Thursday, Hegst praised Trump’s efforts to engage with Putin and told reporters: “You saw yesterday that Preside Trump himself was the best negotiator on the planet, brought together the two sides to reach a negotiated peace that eveually something eveually something. That’s everyone was.

However, several NATO defense ministers, including Sweden, Estonia and Canada, also emphasized that Ukraine should participate in any peace talks.

“There will be no negotiations about Ukraine without the presence of Ukraine,” British Defense Minister John Haley said.

In a conversation with Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Barcrims, “The most importa (thing) is to negotiate without European security architecture without the participation of Europeans.”

The NATO Secretary -General emphasized a sustainable way to end the Ukrainian War, saying that “the main factor is that peace talks are, unlike Minsk agreemes in the year that failed to stop Russia’s four -year aggression in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine. “They did not preve Putin’s full -fledged attack on Ukraine eight years later.”

Prior to the US presideial election, Donald Trump had promised to end the Ukrainian war a few hours after returning to the White House. Although the promise has not been fulfilled nearly a moh after his return to the White House, he stopped Washington’s weapons assistance to Ukraine for five days in his first executive orders.

According to analyzes, Trump’s program for peace in Ukraine may include encouraging or forcing Kiev to transfer part of his land to Russia.

The US preside had a telephone conversation with Putin and Zelnsky last Wednesday evening to end the Ukrainian conflict.

According to Reuters, the calls have been made without any warning or information to European couries and have fueled the shock and fear of European authorities not playing a role in the possible Ukrainian negotiations.

However, Trump again wrote on Thursday evening on the Truth Social Network: “I had a great talk yesterday with Russia and Ukraine. There is a good opportunity to end the bloody war of Ukraine.

The US Preside’s praise for phone calls with Russian and Ukraine presides is, according to European officials, Trump has “sold Ukraine.” Because “Trump fully fulfilled all of Putin’s demands before the talks began.”
