The EU is particularly concerned about US pressures on Ukrainian President Zelenski. What do Europian leaders seek from today’s meeting in Washington. The end of Russia’s aggressive war in Ukraine.

The reason is that three days after the US -Russian session in Alasko Donald Trump no longer insists on the necessity of ceasefire as a prerequisite for the launch of peace talks, and appears to be pressing only against Kiev to give Ukrainian territories, which Volosi In a post yesterday on the Truth Social platform, Trump excluded, after all, the return of Crimea to Ukraine, but also to join NATO.

Zelenski today, however, will not be alone in these critical talks, as he will have several European leaders on his side, such as Commission President Ursula von der Lajen, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, President of France and France.

Obviously, the Ukrainian president sought the presence of Europeans at this meeting in order to avoid a diplomatic incident, similar to that of his latest meeting with Trump at the Oval Office, but also not to stay out of critical talks and guarantees to Kiev.

“At the request of President Zelenski, I will attend the meeting with President Trump and other European leaders,” Ursula von Der Lien said yesterday before welcoming the Ukrainian president in Brussels and participating in a new teleconference of the so -called ” Kyiv.

Concern about ‘red lines’

What European leaders in today’s talks are seeking is to not overcome the “red lines” of Kiev, but also that there is no compromise on security in Europe.

They are also ready to maintain pressure on Moscow through new sanctions if the Russian president does not respond positively to peacekeeping efforts. But the main goal today is to agree strong security guarantees to Ukraine.

In her joint statements with Zelenski, Ursula von der Laien announced yesterday that the 19th package of sanctions against Russia will be ready in early September. “These are critical times,” the President of the Commission stressed, while describing the stakes of today’s talks, stressed that “only Ukraine can choose its fate, but Ukraine can always count in Europe.”
