Ukraine reiterates its ‚red lines‘ amid speculations about military size, territory

Ukraine remains ready for peace talks with Russia but will never formally recognize the Russian occupation or accept restrictions on its army size or alliances, Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk said on Nov. 24.

These are the „red lines“ that nobody can cross, „neither physically, nor legally, nor morally,“ Stefanchuk said during the Parliamentary Summit of the Crimean Platform in Stockholm.

„No recognition of Russia‘s occupation of Ukrainian territories, no limits on the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and no veto over Ukraine‘s choice of future alliances,“ the official said.

Trump says Britain, France and Germany could send troops to ensure peace in Ukraine

Asked if he could guarantee that American troops would not be sent into the country, Trump replied that he guarantees this as the President, adding that he is just trying to stop people from being killed.

He also suggested that US support for Ukraine‘s security could be provided in the form of air force.

Strack-Zimmermann schließt Einsatz von Bodentruppen nicht aus

Die FDP-Europaabgeordnete Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann hat den Einsatz von deutschen Bodentruppen zur Friedenssicherung in der Ukraine nicht kategorisch ausgeschlossen. „Die Frage wird sein, wenn es erforderlich ist, die Ukraine zu sichern: Reicht es, das mit Aufrüstung zu machen? Bedarf es anderer Schutztruppen?“, sagte sie im gemeinsamen Morgenmagazin von ARD und ZDF.

Trump says no NATO path or Crimea return for Ukraine as Zelensky comes to Washington for peace talks

Trump has stepped up pressure on Zelensky ahead of Aug. 18 peace talks in Washington with European leaders, saying on Truth Social that the Ukrainian president could end the war „almost immediately“ if he chose to or he could „continue to fight“ while making it clear that Ukraine would not be permitted to join NATO or reclaim Crimea from Russian control as part of any potential deal with Moscow.

Zelensky meanwhile cautioned that any new deal must prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from using concessions as a „springboard“ for another attack, citing Russia‘s seizure of Crimea in 2014.

Trump-Putin summit: Veteran diplomat explains why putting peace deal before ceasefire wouldn’t end Ukraine War

What I would look for after the Monday meetings is, does Trump stick to his guns post-Alaska and say, “No, we’re gonna have a big, comprehensive peace agreement, and land for peace is on the table.”

Or does he kind of swing back towards the European point of view and say, “I really think the first thing we got to have is a ceasefire”?

Even critics of Trump need to acknowledge that he’s never been a warmonger. He doesn’t like war. He thinks it’s too chaotic. He can’t control it. No telling what will happen at the other end of war. I think he sincerely wants for the shooting and the killing to stop above all else.

The way you do that is a ceasefire.

Zelenskyy says Putin continues attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure after he agrees with Trump to stop them

“Today, Putin effectively rejected the proposal for a full ceasefire. It would be right for the world to respond by rejecting any attempts by Putin to prolong the war. Sanctions against Russia. Assistance to Ukraine. Strengthening allies in the free world and working toward security guarantees. And only a real cessation of strikes on civilian infrastructure by Russia, as proof of its willingness to end this war, can bring peace closer,” Zelenskyy summed up.

Why Putin rejected Trump’s ceasefire deal

One hour into Donald Trump’s phone call with Vladimir Putin on 18 March, a White House aide reported that the conversation was “going well”. The following hour, with the two leaders still talking, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, Kirill Dmitriev, announced that, as a result of the dialogue, the world had “become a much safer place today!”. Channelling the Trumpian vernacular, he pronounced the results: “Historic! Epic!” But when the call ended and the two sides released the details, it became clear that they had agreed to little of substance at all.

Zelenskyy calls on all those who can influence Russia to take decisive steps to put pressure on it

According to the president, this is why Putin is now doing everything possible to sabotage diplomacy, putting forward extremely difficult and unacceptable conditions even before the ceasefire.

“Putin will try to drag everyone into endless discussions, just as he did with Minsk, wasting days, weeks and months on meaningless negotiations, while his weapons continue to kill people. Every condition that Putin puts forward is just an attempt to block any diplomacy,” Zelenskyy noted.

The president strongly urged everyone who has influence on Russia, especially the United States, to take strong steps that can help.

“Pressure should be directed at those who do not want to stop the war. Pressure should be on Russia. Only decisive action can stop this war that has been going on for years,” he stressed.

Russia Responds to Trump Envoy Being Sidelined at Ceasefire Talks

Peskov said that Steve Witkoff, Trump‘s envoy to the Middle East, visited Putin in Moscow on March 13. Kellogg commented on Witkoff‘s scheduled visit earlier this week, saying that it „made a lot of sense strategically to say, ‚OK, Steve, you run this lane really hard, and I‘ll run this lane really hard.‘ We‘re closely aligned, talking about it, comparing notes, and providing that information.“

Neither Trump nor Kellogg has commented on the reports that the retired lieutenant army general has been „sidelined“ in peace talks.

Putin met with Witkoff late Thursday after having kept the American waiting since roughly 12:30 p.m., according to flight tracking data and Russian reports, but ultimately sent him home with “signals” for Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters.

Waffenruhe in der Ukraine? – So reagiert Trump auf die Aussagen von Putin

Donald Trump wertet es schon einmal positiv, dass nicht ein kategorisches Nein aus Russland kommt und die Verhandlungen weitergehen. Auch positiv sieht er, dass Wladimir Putin mit ihm sprechen will. Geht es nach Trump, könnte dies schon heute der Fall sein. Und auch wenn es Putin etwas weniger eilig haben dürfte, gibt es offenbar Anzeichen, dass dieses direkte Gespräch zwischen den beiden Präsidenten tatsächlich heute stattfinden könnte.

Putin said he also wants guarantees that during a 30-day ceasefire, Ukraine will not regroup, and he wondered who would determine if there were any violations of a ceasefire.

Putin suggested Russia should talk with Trump to discuss his concerns, while adding, „But the idea itself is to end this conflict with peaceful means. We support it.“

The Kremlin does not exclude that the issue of a telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump may come up in the wake of the US-Ukrainian negotiations and could be organized quickly, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

„We also do not rule out that the topic of a call at the highest level may arise. If such a need emerges, it will be organized very quickly. The existing channels of dialogue with the Americans make it possible to do this in a relatively short time,“ he said.
