Trump-Zelensky SHOWDOWN Will Lead To Full-Scale EU-U.S War? Ukraine On Edge As Putin Derail Talks

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order? #Trump #Zelensky #Putin #WhiteHouseShowdown #USEUClash #UkraineWar #AlaskaSummit #Crimea #Donbas #NATO #Macron #MerkelSuccessor #KeirStarmer #GiorgiaMeloni #VonDerLeyen #MarkRutte #AlexanderStubb #UkraineResistance #AmericaFirst #GlobalCrisis ~HT.178~ED.194~GR.124~

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~

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

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~
