Europe’s opinion will be asked – but it will eventually be excluded – from the planned peace talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine, Donald Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, revealed.

Asked if Europe would be present in scheduled talks, Keith Kogg said he was “realistic and that this is not going to happen”.

“It may be like chalk on the table, be scousised, but I tell you something that is really very honest“, He said on Saturday.

“And to my European friends, I would say: Get into the discussion, but without complaining that you may be, or not, on the table of peace talks, but by submitting specific suggestions, ideas, increasing costs [άμυνας]“

Kellogg’s statements will surprise some European leaders who do not trust Trump and believe that their country’s security is inextricably intertwined with the fate of Ukraine. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorski said French President Emmanuel Macron called on European leaders in Paris on Sunday to discuss the situation.

Kellogg said that one reason why previous peace talks failed between Ukraine and Russia was the involvement of many countries that were unable to perform any such procedure. “We are not going to follow this path“, He said on the sidelines of the Munich security conference.

Ukraine President Volodimir Zelenski had earlier used his speech at the conference to warn that Europe is likely to be excluded from negotiations. He urged Europe to move quickly and form a European army in which Ukraine would play a central role.

At the same time, and after the speech of US Vice President Jay Di Vans at the Munich Conference on Security yesterday, European leaders are increasingly anxious about Trump’s approach to the peace deal for Ukraine. They are even afraid that an agreement that will be beneficial for the US can be reached, but will have long -term consequences, not only on the security of Ukraine but also in Europe.

Tusk: There is no time to waste

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk, posting on social media, says the cluster is narrowing and Europe’s intervention is imperative. In detail, he states: ‘Europe urgently needs its own plan of action on Ukraine and our safety, otherwise other world players will decide on our future. Not necessarily according to our own interests … This plan must be prepared now. There is no time to waste“

Kogg said the critical issues are to ensure that the war will not start again and determine how Ukraine will maintain its sovereignty. He said this would require a reliable security guarantee, adding that Trump, as the only decision -making in the US, was not yet able to determine such a guarantee.

Added: ‘Trump would need a full range of options“And that”All options are on the table” He said he was working in “Trump time”, adding that he was expecting an agreement in weeks and months. One key issue was to agree on how to deal with any violations of any ceasefire agreement, he said.

He also added that he worked with his contacts in the NATO alliance, while Steve Witkov, the Middle East envoy, was in contact with the Russians.
