European Leaders Discuss Being Left Out From US-Russian Talks On Ukraine
Monday, 17 February 2025 () French President Emmanuel Macron hosted European leaders Monday for talks focused on the U.S. push to start Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations, seemingly set to proceed without the involvement of European officials.
An informal summit in Paris among European leaders concluded without any concrete announcement, as the idea of deploying peacekeeping troops to Ukraine remains highly divisive.
Ukrainian Officials Hit Back Hard at Trump. Ukrainian officials have strongly pushed back against former U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest attack on President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he labeled him a “dictator without elections.” In a heated response, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga emphasized that Zelensky remains the legitimate leader of Ukraine, defending his decision to delay elections due to ongoing martial law. Officials accused Trump of playing into Russian disinformation and undermining Ukraine’s struggle against Moscow’s aggression. The controversy comes amid growing tensions over U.S. aid to Kyiv, with Trump suggesting that Zelensky is prolonging the war for financial support.

Trump, Putin Secret Deal? In a dramatic shift in global diplomacy, former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin appear to have found common ground on the Ukraine war, effectively sidelining Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During high-level talks in Saudi Arabia—held without Ukraine’s participation—Trump declared that Russia "holds the cards" in peace negotiations due to its territorial gains, further escalating tensions by labeling Zelensky a "dictator." Putin, in turn, mocked Zelensky’s outrage, dismissing it as "hysterical."
