BBC News, Washington
Donald Trump has stated that Ukrainian President can end the war of Russia “if he wants”, but as part of a peace deal “nobody is going to NATO by Ukraine”.
A few hours ago due to the host of Volodimir Zelanski at the White House, Trump also said that the Crimean Peninsula would be “No Getting Back”, which Moscow illegally attached illegally eight years before starting his full -scale invasion in 2014.
Trump’s comment follows his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska, resulting in the US President abandoning the demand for ceasefire and called instead of a permanent peace deal.
After reaching the US late on Sunday, Zelancesi repeated his call for the effective security guarantee of the Allies.
An American envoy said on Sunday that Putin had agreed to a security agreement like a possible NATO for Ukraine.
The Russian President has consistently opposed Ukraine’s idea of joining the military alliance.
Posting on his true social stage on Sunday night, Trump said: “The President of Ukraine can end the war almost immediately with Russia, if he wants, or he can continue fighting.
“Remember how it started. No one is getting back Obama (12 years ago, without a bullet without a bullet!), And not going to NATO by Ukraine. Some things never change !!!” Trump said.
Before Trump returns to power in January, NATO countries agreed to Kiev’s “irreversible path” for membership in the alliance.
NATO general secretary Mark Rute, UK Prime Minister Sir Kir Stmper, including European leaders, will join Zelancesi in Washington on Monday to negotiate the future of Ukraine.
Apart from this, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Frederick Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stub and European Commission Chairman Ursula participate in Ursula von Der Leyen. It is not clear how many of them will go to the White House.
Trump later said: “Big day in the White House. There was never so many European leaders at a time. My great honor for hosting them !!!”
Zelansky said on social media that he was “grateful” to Trump’s invitation. “We all share a strong desire to eliminate this war quickly and firmly”.
He also doubled on the need for effective safety guarantee from colleagues, “not as it was years ago … when Ukraine was called a ‘security guarantee’ in 1994, but he did not work”.
“Of course, Crimea should not have been given then,” he said. “The way Ukrainian did not give Kiev, Odessa, or Kharkiv” after 2022 “.
For so many state heads, the Akash-high stakes underlines the sky-high stakes to travel in Atlantic with such low notice in Atlantic with such a low notice in the modern era.
Diplomatic sources say European officials are worried that Trump may try to suppress Zelanski to agree to Zalenski to agree to the conditions after being excluded from the Trump-Putin meeting last Friday.
But US state secretary Marco Rubio told BBC American partner CBS that any suggestion Zelanski could be harassed by Trump in accepting the peace deal. There was a “stupid media story”.
NATO leaders also appear eager to avoid repetition of Zelanceci’s February trip to the sudden ended oval office after an argument with Trump and US vice -president JD Vance.
This change – in which Trump accused Zelancesi of “Gambling with World War 3” – left the Washington -Quic relations in tatters.
But European leaders have been working on the back of the screen since this time. The Ukrainian leader has been trained to talk about a deal – language that resonates with Trump.
In April, Ukraine signed a mineral agreement, which gave the US a financial stake in the country, and Trump and Zelanski spoke privately in the Vatican before the funeral of Pope Francis. Ukraine clarified that it was willing to pay for American weapons.
By July, the two leaders had a phone call called by the Ukrainian President as “the best conversation we have”.
Meanwhile, Trump began to express exaggerations with an incredible attack of Russia in Ukraine. He called Putin “absolutely crazy”, significantly reduced his time limit for a peace deal, and threatened economic sanctions on Moscow.
As they discuss these discussions, the Russian army keeps moving forward on the battlefield. They now occupy about the fifth of Ukraine as Moscow started his full -scale invasion in February 2022.
EPAA virtual summit was held on Sunday between the Zelansky and the interested alliance – a group of nations including the UK, France and Germany promised to protect peace in Ukraine.
Later, Emmanuel Macron told reporters that he had a plan to “present a united front” for Monday’s conversation with Trump.
Leaders of Zelanski and NATO said that he American envoy Steve Witchoff told US Television that Putin on Friday “agreed to give a strong security guarantee, which I would describe as a game-changing”.
Vitkoff said that such an agreement protects Ukraine from further aggression with a defense agreement like NATO to Europe and America.
Witcoff told CNN on Sunday, “We were able to win the following concession: the United States could provide security like Article 5, which wants to be in NATO, it is one of the real reasons.”
Putin has long opposed Ukraine joining NATO, and Vitkoff said that if Ukrainians can “live with it”, the system could be an option.
Article 5 32-There is a principle in the center of the member’s Trancyllantic Military Alliance that states that its members will come to protect a colleague which is subject to the attack.
Witcoff also told CNN that Russia gave “some concessions” in the five heavy areas of Ukraine.
In a conversation with European colleagues after the Alaska Summit, Trump said that Putin had reiterated that he wanted prominent Donetsk and Luhanskas regions that make Donbas, Eastern Ukraine according to European officials.
But at the Sunday virtual summit with NATO leaders, Zelancesi insisted that the Ukrainian constitution makes it impossible – and it should only be discussed by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at the tripartite summit with the US.
Meanwhile, the US State Secretary has hoped that a deal to end Europe’s most deadly struggle for 80 years may be adjacent.
Rubio said on Sunday, “We are still a long way.”
