With the leaders of the alliance of the willingness to have gathered in – those who do not participate with a teleconference – to finalize the security guarantees they will provide after the war settlement, the game of statements, and the threats of it, has lit it.
Finalization of security guarantees without Russia
Opening the meeting, the French president said that leaders are meeting to “finalize strong security guarantees for Ukraine by pressing on the job done in recent weeks.” After this simple statement Macron asked reporters to leave the site.
Earlier and on the occasion of the debate in Paris, NATO Secretary -General Mark Rutte made it clear that “it is not up to Russia to decide whether or not we Western soldiers can have a presence in Ukraine.” As he said: “Russia has nothing to do with it. Ukraine is a sovereign nation. If Ukraine wants to have a security guarantee for Ukraine to support the peace agreement, this is its own decision. No one else can decide for it. “
Intense reactions from Moscow
It had been re -warned by Moscow by the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zaharova that any “foreign intervention” in Ukraine, in any form of “any form” is out of debate on Russia. As he argued: “These are not security guarantees for Ukraine, they are danger guarantees for the European continent.”
France and Britain are co -chairing the Alliance and have largely undertaken not only the debate on security guarantees, but as a whole, the planning to support Ukraine, following the relative US distancing from active aid.
It is for this reason that they have received harsh criticism on the part of Russia, while the revelation of British Defense Minister John Chili that military support to Ukraine worth about one billion pounds was partially covered by frozen Russian assets by the Russian assets.
Medvedev, in a post on Telegram, argued that: “Since money cannot be recovered in court for obvious reasons, our country has only one way to get the valuables back: NATA gets back in kind. That is, on Ukrainian land and other immovable and mobile property located there. Russia will respond to any illegal seizure of Russian capital or profits by seizing the valuables of the British crown, including British properties in Russia. “
Trump is watching developments and continues to push for a solution
Concerning meetings in Paris, leaders involved will have a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump for information and coordination, and the discussion of the meeting with US President Savloukis Vouinuki’s special envoy.
The above follows Trump’s statements that he remains committed to the pursuit of a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine despite the growing uncertainty about the prospect of having talks before Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine.
“I watch it, I see it and talk about it with President Putin and President Zelenski,” Trump told CBS News yesterday. “Something will happen, but they are not yet ready. But something will happen. We will accomplish it. “
Trump had stated earlier yesterday that he was planning to hold talks on the war in Ukraine in the following days, as the summit he held with Putin in August in Alaska did not work. White house official said Trump is expected to speak with Zelenski today.
Putin also said yesterday that he was ready to meet with Zelenski if the Ukrainian president came to Moscow, but added that any such meeting should be well prepared and lead to tangible results. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister rejected the possibility of Moscow the place of such a meeting.
Trump told CBS News that he is unhappy with the massacre between Russia and Ukraine, but will continue to push for a peace deal.
“I think we will make it clear. Honestly, Russia’s I thought it would be one of the easiest among those (ed: the conflicts) I stopped, but it seems to be a little more difficult than some than others, “he said.
Trump: “The next two weeks will be critical”
Trump also said yesterday that he watched China’s “nice ceremony” for the end of the end of World War II, during which Putin was next to Chinese President Xi Jing and Northern Kim Jong Un.
“I understand why they did it and hoped that I was watching and watching,” Trump told CBS News. “My relationship with all of them is very good. We will find out how good it is in the next one or two weeks. “
Trump had stated on Tuesday that he was “very frustrated” by Putin and posted on Truth Social he had written that Si, Putin and Kim were conspiring against the United States.
The Kremlin said Putin was not conspiring against the United States and that Trump was ironic in his comment.
Putin said that all the countries, with which Russia held talks in China, supported the Russian -American summit in Alaska and hoped that talks could help end the war in Ukraine.
