Trump and Putin Close to Reaching a Talks but Ukraine Sidelined?!
Europe is panicking, fearing the deal could upset the global balance of power.
On Monday, Washington and Moscow confirmed that their top officials will hold talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday to discuss ways to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
However, Kyiv’s absence from the meeting has raised big questions; Is this a real peace deal, or a subtle tactic to hand Ukraine over to Russia on a silver platter?
The news of the talks has rocked Europe, with key leaders gathering in Paris to devise a strategy to contain what they see as a threat to the continent’s stability.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned that NATO unity is in danger, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged Europe to strengthen its defenses before it’s too late.
Meanwhile, Trump said his personal meeting with Putin could happen “in the near future,” adding to concerns that major decisions could be made without Ukraine’s consent.
With tensions escalating and the world focused on Riyadh, one thing is certain: the global power dynamics are likely to change drastically, and Ukraine is the first casualty.
