U.S, UK, France Troops in Ukraine? EU pushes for NATO-like Security Guarantees. Will Putin agree?

Ukraine could soon receive NATO-like security guarantees as Zelensky visits Washington with top EU leaders. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claims Russia has for the first time conceded to allowing America to provide “Article 5-style protections” to Ukraine—a breakthrough in negotiations. The proposed deal would shield Ukraine militarily without full NATO membership, avoiding Russia’s objections. While Zelensky calls the guarantees historic, disputes remain over territory. EU leaders back the plan, warning against any peace deal that forces Ukraine to cede land. #Ukraine #Zelensky #Trump #NATO #SecurityGuarantees #USPolitics #Russia #Putin #SteveWitkoff #Article5 #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #USUkraine #EULeaders #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews #UkraineSupport #UkrainePeaceDeal #NATOLike #RussiaUkraineWar #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #Geopolitics #WorldNews #UkraineDefense #TrumpZelensky #WashingtonSummit #UkraineCrisis #Diplomacy #UkraineFuture #UkraineSecurity Also Read No Going Into NATO by Ukraine: Trump's Message To Zelensky Ahead of Talks At White House :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-going-into-nato-by-ukraine-trumps-message-to-zelensky-ahead-of-talks-at-white-house-011-7832883.html?ref=DMDesc After Putin Meeting, Trump Hints ‘Big Progress On Russia’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-progress-us-russia-discussions-ukraine-security-011-7832705.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~GR.124~HT.96~

Zelensky SCARED of ‘Bully’ Trump? Begs EU Leaders to accompany during U.S. trip to save humiliation?

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine. #Zelensky #Trump #OvalOfficeShowdown #USPolitics #Ukraine #EULeaders #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #KeirStarmer #Macron #GiorgiaMeloni #FriedrichMerz #MarkRutte #AlexanderStubb #NATO #UkraineWar #TrumpVsZelensky #PoliticalDrama #WashingtonSummit #GlobalPolitics #UkraineSupport #WhiteHouse #UkraineNews #EuropeStandsWithUkraine #TrumpNews #WorldNews #BreakingNews #Diplomacy #USUkraine #EUPolitics #Leadership #UkraineDefense Also Read Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia “Lost An Oil Client” India After Washington Announced Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-tariffs-hit-india-as-trump-says-russia-has-lost-an-oil-client-7831511.html?ref=DMDesc Next Time In Moscow?: Russia President Putin Invites US Counterpart Trump To Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/next-time-in-moscow-russia-president-putin-invites-us-counterpart-trump-to-russia-7831399.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~GR.124~HT.96~

Rubio SHOCKS Ukraine With ‘Land Concession’ Remark | Zelensky REJECTS Putin’s Donbas Demand

Hours before President Zelensky’s White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating “No land for invaders.” While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the war—already entering its fourth year—could bring more deaths and consequences for Russia. #UkraineWar #MarcoRubio #Zelensky #Putin #RussiaUkraine #Donbas #NoLandForInvaders #PeaceDeal #UkraineConflict #USPolitics #WashingtonDC #Kyiv #EuropeanUnion #Geopolitics #RubioRemarks #GlobalSecurity #StopTheWar #UkraineStrong #WorldNews #Diplomacy #RussiaSanctions #PeaceTalks #NATO #Biden #USForeignPolicy #WarUpdate #InternationalRelations #RussiaVsUkraine #ConflictResolution #ZelenskySpeech #BreakingNews Also Read Trump Says No Agreement On Ending Russia's War In Ukraine As Putin Says There Was An 'Understanding' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-no-agreement-on-ending-russia-war-ukraine-putin-7831387.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Says He Will Meet Russian Counterpart Putin On August 15 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-says-he-will-meet-russian-counterpart-putin-on-august-15-7824671.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

Zelensky Dares Putin | Refuses to Cede Donbas to Russia | Warns Trump ‘It will start a 3rd War’

Ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a “third war” in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraine’s long-term safety. #Zelensky #Putin #Trump #Donbas #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Geopolitics #SecurityGuarantees #EU #USPolitics #PeaceTalks #VolodymyrZelensky #TrumpPutin #Diplomacy #WarWarning #UkraineStrong #UkraineNews #DonbasWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #BreakingNews #UkraineDefense #PutinDemands #GlobalPolitics #WorldNews #SummitTalks #UkraineFrontline #NoCeasefire #MilitaryTensions #UkrainePride Also Read President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?

Europe OPPOSES Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan With Putin | Zelensky SLAMS Proposal to Swap Territory

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Ukraine #Russia #PeaceTalks #Kyiv #EUAllies #NoDealWithoutUkraine #Donbas #Crimea #EuropePolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #WarInUkraine #InternationalRelations #RussiaUkraineWar #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #WorldNews #UkraineStrong #PutinTalks #UkraineRussia #BackUkraine #TrumpPutin #EUvsTrump #PeaceDeal #KyivStrong #DonbasCrimea #UkraineWarUpdate #StandWithUkraine Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?
