Trump’s plane lands in Alaska for meeting Putin

Trump also said today that he would not “negotiate Ukraine” during today’s talks – a comment that could cause a little discomfort in kyiv and in European capitals. Managers are worried that Trump could accept Putin’s requests, such as giving up a Ukrainian territory captured in Russia.

The exclusion of Zelenskyy from this meeting is a blow for the previous policy of the West of “nothing on Ukraine without Ukraine”.

And Trump confirmed that it would be a question of putting back to Ukraine by putting part of his territory as part of a colony. That this actually happens will be Zelenskky’s call, he said, although he has clearly indicated that the United States expects to make concessions.

“I have to let Ukraine make this decision. And I think they will make an appropriate decision,” Trump told journalists.

Trump also said that there was a “possibility” that the United States offers Ukrainian security guarantees “, but not in the form of NATO”. Do not forget when the defense secretary, Peter Hegseth, made waves earlier this year when he said that Ukrainian membership in this military alliance was not realistic. Putin vigorously opposes NATO expansion to the border of Russia.
