Summary
President Trump has announced the initiation of peace negotiations with Russia over Ukraine, sparking concerns from NATO allies about excluding Ukraine from critical talks. In discussions, Trump indicated willingness to accept some Kremlin demands, contradicting previous U.S. policy. NATO Secretary-General emphasized Ukraine’s essential role in any talks, with European leaders demanding that Kyiv's concerns be prioritized as the conflict's repercussions heavily impact Europe. Despite reassurances from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, European officials stress that a legitimate peace deal cannot occur without Ukraine's active involvement. The evolving scenario has prompted both hope and concern among Ukraine's allies.
