Diplomatic fever prevails in Europe, as Kiev’s allies are rushing to exploit the context and engaging in Trump’s initiatives as she maintains her eyes in Ukraine. But the details remain blurry, with Moscow further fueling uncertainty – from whether there will be a Putin -Chalensky meeting to the most critical question about the form of security guarantees.
In this climate, a series of diplomatic processes are ongoing. The alliance of the willingness, where Donald Trump’s stance on security guarantees to Ukraine were discussed online today.
Trump is willing to help the alliance, implying that this may include air support, but has categorically rejected the US troops to Ukraine.
In particular, the US president has said that Russian President Vladimir Putin would be in line with the development of European troops in Ukraine under the proposed security guarantees, provided that Ukraine will not join NATO and that the land will not be organized by the land.
However, Moscow has categorically rejected this idea in many cases, including a Russian Foreign Ministry statement on Monday, which has described any such European development from NATO member states “apparently inapplicable”.
At the same time, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zaharova made an indirect denial of Donald Trump’s proposal. “We reiterate our timeless position, categorically rejecting any scenario that includes the development of NATO military forces in Ukraine, as this pushes the risk of uncontrolled escalation with unpredictable consequences,” he said on Tuesday.
Another major issue that will determine the outcome of the war is the territorial arrangements for ending the conflict. Trump seems to believe that Ukraine should give part of what Kiev considers a dominant Ukrainian territory.
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump said that most of Donbas’ eastern region is already in the hands of the Russians. Ukraine, she added, “will take a lot of ground” with the peace agreement, but without further expanding.
Kiev knows that painful territorial concessions are almost certain, but Ukrainian official Yuri Sak insists that the issue is not legal recognition.
Thus, security guarantees and territorial is a complex grid of issues that remains to be clear to end the conflict.
Trump, albeit delayed, acknowledged that he was not simple. He believes that his personal involvement can solve it. However, as analysts point out, it will take much more than that.
Unanswered questions for the next steps
The climate was also captured by the current information from the Llykos house. Caroline Levit again refused to give more details on security guarantees.
Many of the questions in press information focused on confusion about meetings that the US president and his government had promised to follow.
First of all, Levit did not provide specific answers about exactly what makes the White House believe that a meeting between Putin and Zelenski is feasible, though he repeated it many times.
It also remains unclear what the role of Trump himself will be. The White House’s current position is that a bilateral meeting between the two leaders is a prerequisite for any subsequent trilateral meeting with US participation.
For his part, the White House attributed the lack of clarity to the “delicate” nature of the details and negotiations held in the background.
However, until there is specific data on where, when and in what form of these meetings, the international community can hardly imagine that peace in Ukraine is within walking distance of
For many, discussions on security guarantees, US air or accounting support and NATO’s potential missions remain premature until these first steps become tangible.
