Ukraine brings European reinforcements to the White House

London – if he wants to give the leader of Ukraine the same welcome as him Vladimir Putin of RussiaSo President Donald Trump may need A bigger red carpet.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy will bring heavyweight reinforcements on Monday to the White House – A troupe of European leaders Probably hoping to make sure that there is no repetition of his last oval force test at a time of even greater participation for his country and the continent.

THE Extraordinary public bust Between Zelenskyy, Trump and the vice-president JD Vance in February amazed the European powers.

Trump accused a wasp Zelenskyy To “play with the Second World War” and to disrespect the White House as the cameras rolled, before cutting the short meeting and telling the Ukrainian leader To come back “when he is ready for peace”.

He returned Monday flanked by leaders of Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Finland, as well as the heads of the European Union and NATO – a demonstration of solidarity and an effort to ensure that Europe has a real voice in peace after being excluded from the Trump summit with Putin in Alaska.

“This is a demonstration of European unity and support for Ukraine precisely to avoid what happened in February repeating itself,” New Mujtaba Rahman, general manager of Europe in Eurasia told NBC.

He added that the European side would be “impatient to prevent Zelenskyy from being intimidated to make concessions”, after Trump fueled a new alarm among the allies of Ukraine seemingly leaning towards the vision of Kremlin on things after his talks with Putin.

The American president did not offer any reason to think that it had changed in the hours preceding the rally of the White House on Monday.

Asset Put the burden on Zelenskyysaying that he could “end the war almost immediately, if he wanted it”, and that there was “not to go to NATO by Ukraine“And” no recovery “of the Crimean Peninsula that Russia illegally annexed in 2014.

This public pressure has fueled fears of being able to increase the heat of Zelenskyy to accept territorial concessions in exchange for a peace agreement.

Therefore, the Ukrainian leader will not go alone.

In British Prime Minister Keir StarmerNATO chief Mark Rutte and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, the European contingent, will showcase three men considered to be successful to win Trump’s favor.

They hope to use this influence to reverse the apparent breakthroughs that Putin made in Alaska.

The meeting in Washington will also give managers the opportunity to discuss future security guarantees for Ukraine, that the US special Sente Steve Witkoff has floated on Sunday as an element potentially similar to Article 5 of NATO.

Ukraine hoped to use the meeting to negotiate a security guarantee for any test and convince Trump that a temporary cease-fire is necessary to start real peace talks, a familiar Ukrainian source told NBC News. Security guarantees should be obligations at the Treaty level, according to the source, which require the approval of the Senate.

Rahman said that the nature of security guarantees was “absolutely essential to prevent Russian aggression in the future”, saying that Europeans would go to Washington in the hope of “determining the details of the United States’s participation in Ukraine’s future security”.

Citing fatal strikes in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, Zelenskyy said on Monday that Russia was continuing its attacks on its country when talks were continuing in order to “maintain pressure on Ukraine and Europe, as well as humiliating diplomatic efforts”.

And in Kyiv, many believe that conceding the territory within the framework of the broader peace agreement that Trump would not end the war at all – it would only encourage Moscow to push further.

“It is precisely this so-called long-term tranquility that would allow him to continue to wage war,” said Oleksiy Goncarenko, legislative of the Ukrainian opposition party “European solidarity”. “The fastest step is to first establish a ceasefire, and only then start negotiations.”

The leaders of Europe seem to share this instinct.

“If we are weak with Russia today, we prepare the conflicts of tomorrow and they will have an impact on the Ukrainians and – – do not go wrong – they can also have an impact on us.” French president Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday.

If February was a fiasco, Monday is the do -over – this time with hits.
