Kyiv and its European allies demanded to be included in any peace negotiations after U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and suggested Ukraine could neither reclaim all its lost land nor join NATO.
Trump’s first direct engagement on peace talks in the nearly four-year-long war has raised concerns in Kyiv and NATO capitals, with European leaders warning that no agreement can be reached without Ukraine’s direct involvement.
📈 Russia’s financial markets surged, and Ukraine’s debt prices rose, as speculation grew over the first potential peace negotiations since the war’s early months.
💬 European officials reacted strongly, warning that the White House must not move forward without alignment from Ukraine and NATO allies.
🇺🇦 Kyiv’s demands:
✔ Russian troops must withdraw from all occupied Ukrainian territory
✔ Ukraine must receive security guarantees equivalent to NATO membership
✔ Any peace deal must be negotiated with Ukraine, not imposed from outside
📢 "A deal without Ukraine is impossible to implement," European diplomats said ahead of the Munich Security Conference (February 14), where they plan a "frank and demanding dialogue" with U.S. officials.
🇺🇸 Trump’s peace stance:
✔ Full NATO membership for Ukraine is unrealistic
✔ Ukraine will not regain all its pre-2014 territory
✔ No U.S. troops will be deployed to Ukraine under any security agreement
💬 The Kremlin praised Trump’s stance, calling it a “contrast” to former President Joe Biden’s approach.
⚔ Ukraine’s military position:
Russia currently controls around 20% of Ukraine, including Crimea and occupied regions in the east and south.
Kyiv reclaimed significant territory in 2022 but has lost ground since its failed counteroffensive in 2023.
Casualties remain high, with hundreds of thousands killed or injured, though exact figures remain unknown.
🚨 Despite years of fighting, neither side has shifted its fundamental demands:
Moscow insists Ukraine must cede more land and adopt permanent neutrality.
Kyiv insists on full territorial integrity and long-term security guarantees.
🚨 Trump’s approach marks a major shift in U.S. policy, moving from Biden’s unconditional support for Ukraine to a negotiated settlement with Moscow.
With peace talks possibly taking shape, the key question remains:
👉 Will Ukraine and NATO allies be part of the deal—or sidelined?
