Ukraine and Europe worry about being sidelined as Trump pushes direct talks with Russia on war's end

President Donald Trump's approach to ending Russia's war against Ukraine has left European allies and Ukrainian officials worried they are being largely sidelined by the new U.S. administration as Washington and Moscow plan direct negotiations.
The article discusses concerns in Ukraine and Europe about being sidelined in peace negotiations as former U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for direct talks with Russia to end the ongoing war. Trump has suggested that he could resolve the conflict in a day if re-elected, a claim that has raised alarms about the potential exclusion of key stakeholders like Ukraine and European nations from the negotiation process. Ukrainian officials and European leaders are wary of Trump's approach, fearing it might lead to concessions that do not consider Ukraine's interests or the broader European security framework. There's apprehension that Trump might prioritize a quick deal over a just and lasting peace, potentially undermining NATO unity and ignoring the complexities of the conflict, including Russia's annexation of Crimea and its military actions in eastern Ukraine. This situation has led to discussions on how to ensure that any peace talks include all relevant parties to prevent a repeat of historical oversights like the Munich Agreement of 1938.
