Without Ukraine and without Russia? Trump’s ‘ghost’ meeting to start negotiating the end of the war

Everything indicates that the first meeting to end the War in Ukraine It will be without Ukraine … and maybe without Russia. Faithful to his style, Donald Trump announced this Thursday, a few hours in advance, a high -level meeting between United States, Russia and Ukraine In Munich, which since Friday hosts the security conference. Kyiv, however, rules out that there are conversations planned with the Russians and the Kremlin, in turn, denies the presence of a delegation at the conference.

Trump, however, announced it high and clear on the eve from the oval office. “There will be a meeting in Munich. Russia will be there With our people. By the way, Ukraine is also invited “said the Republican president. “I am not sure who will be there of each country,” recognized the New York tycoon, who nevertheless insisted: “But there will be high -level people from Russia, Ukraine and the United States.”

Although Trump, apparently, had Ukraine, Kyiv said Thursday that There were no “conversations planned with the Russians in Munich. “We don’t meet the Russians at an empty table”he stressed.

Zelenski himself insisted this Friday that I don’t know that three -band meetingwhich, at least for the moment, only exists in Trump’s words. “I don’t know any of this. Does anyone know more than me?“The Ukrainian president was ironic to journalists in the German city, where he has also warned that Trump’s conversations are not enough to develop a peace plan that can be negotiated with Russia.

I don’t want to meet with the Russians just to gatherso that? We see the order of the meetings like this: USA, Europe and then Russia, “Zelenski insisted, which does plan to meet this Friday with the US vice president, JD Vancewithin the framework of that Munich Security Conference. A International quote that Russia does not attendbecause she has not been officially invited.

Moscow this has wielded this Friday at deny that an official Russian delegation will participate At the conference. “Representatives of the Foreign Ministry or other official structures They will not be there. I can say it sure, “said the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, María Zajárova, who recalled that Russian officials are not invited to Munich since the war began.

Waiting for that high -level meeting announced by Trump materializes or not, the truth is that the president has already begun to move and warned his allies. On Wednesday, the US president spoke on the phone with the Russian president, Vladimir Putinand announced an agreement to start “immediate negotiations” to end the war In Ukraine. Then he also spoke with Zelenski, an order in the conversations that has not gone unnoticed.

In addition, Trump has already dropped unlikely that Ukraine recovers the territory that Russia has taken him away and has moved away the possibility of getting to NATO. A position that has led to both Kyiv and the powers of the Alliance to claim a hole in peace talks that are raised at the moment as a bilateral negotiation between Washington and Moscow. Ukraine and Europe, they say, must be in negotiations.
