Russia say Ukraine not joining Nato was a fundamental question in talks on a possible peace settlement
Key Ukraine-US talks are set to continue in Berlin today after five hours of negotiations on Sunday, with a group of European leaders later joining the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to show their solidarity with Kyiv.
Once the talks with the US are concluded, the mini-summit will bring together Britain’s Keir Starmer, Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen, Finland’s Alexander Stubb, Norway’s Jonas Gahr Støre, the Netherlands’s Dick Schoof, Poland’s Donald Tusk, Sweden’s Ulf Kristersson, as well as top EU and Nato officials.
Europe’s Trump whisperer and his occasional golf partner, Finland’s Stubb, told journalists on Sunday that “we’re probably closer to a peace agreement than we have been at any time during these four years.”
US envoy Steve Witkoff also said that “a lot of progress was made” during the Sunday talks.
