With talks in Alaska and White House still fresh, today’s developments come to emphasize that although efforts are being made by all sides to find some settlement agreement in, but it is not certain that the US president’s pressure on the “closure” with a “closure”.
No US troops in Ukraine say the US
Oh. For example, while yesterday Donald Trump had left the possibility of the US to participate in the security guarantees given to Ukraine under a peace agreement, today ruled out the US troops, but left open.
As he said: “There will be some form of security guarantee. It cannot be NATO, “he said, excluding Ukraine’s entry into the alliance. “They are willing to send people to the ground. We are willing to help them with various things more specifically, probably, we could talk about air support. “
White House spokesman Caroline Livit said that Putin and Volodimir Zelenski also expressed “willingness to sit on the table together” and stressed that “arrangements are ongoing for the meeting”.
Russia expresses disagreements, Europeans are getting ready
Russia has repeatedly stated that it considers the development of troops from NATO countries in Ukraine as a red line for the launch of the negotiations, but Trump appeared to reject these Moscow concerns and said he was still optimistic about the possibility of reaching the agreement.
Despite Moscow’s reservations, however, which according to several analysts and experts are essentially equivalent to an attempt to sabotage a Putin -Zelenski meeting, but also the issue of a peace process, European leaders today participated in a teleconference to discuss them, Ukrainian, with the backdrop of the movements of the US, Russia and the situation in Ukraine.
Subsequently, it was announced that today there will be a teleconference between the Chiefs of General Staffs of the NATO Member States to determine what will be the security guarantees given to Ukraine. Along with the military leadership, it became known that the US, Ukraine and European countries have set up a joint committee for security guarantees, led by US Foreign Minister Mark Rubio.
Media reports show that there will be a better picture of security guarantees given to Kiev in the event of an agreement with Moscow, there will be about ten days.
Heavy climate for a Putin-Zelenski summit
Along with the above, it was a literature on whether, as well as with a meeting between Putin and Zelenski by the end of August, as Donald Trump announced that it would take place after last night’s phone call.
According to some reports, Putin proposed Moscow as a place of bilateral, but according to themselves this was rejected by Zelenski himself.
It then emerged that Hungary and Geneva were also discussed. In terms of Geneva, there were reports that have argued that Switzerland guarantees that if this is done, the international arrest warrant pending against Putin for war crimes will not be executed.
Contrary to the above that focuses on the scenario that there will be a meeting between Putin and Zelenski, as Trump wants, more and more more and more doubts have been doubtful on the basis of what is being discussed if this is ultimately feasible. This is because both the issue of security guarantees and the territorial cause centrifugal forces on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine.
