In a surprising turn of events, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine, breaking three years of U.S. policy. This move has sparked triumph in Russia, with officials and state media praising Putin’s role in the negotiations, sidelining Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European governments. Trump’s shift in approach has raised concerns in Europe and the NATO alliance, with fears that Ukraine’s hopes of joining NATO and regaining its captured territory may be dashed. Zelenskyy has made it clear that Ukraine must be included in any talks related to the country’s future. Despite the potential for dialogue, some are skeptical about the outcome of negotiations given the past incompatible demands from Russia and Ukraine. The situation remains tense, with uncertainty about the future of the conflict. Follow the latest developments in the war in Ukraine on AP’s coverage.
