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?
