President Trump says he also spoke with Zelensky, promising Ukraine will be part of the negotiations after initially not committing to do so, while also denying the country's request to join NATO, requiring the US and its allies to defend the alliance. The negotiation really hasn't started, but I will say, as far as NATO is concerned, from many years before President Putin, I will tell you that I've heard that Russia would never accept that, and I think Ukraine knew that because Ukraine wasn't in and never requested to be in until more recently. President Zellansky, who's been meeting with other world leaders to talk about security for Ukraine and the rest of Europe, says that he is grateful for his conversation with President Trump, calling it meaningful, but also adding it was unpleasant for President Trump to call Putin first in Washington, I'm Amy Lou.

Vance, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, said the U.S. would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action if Putin won바카라 게임 웹사이트t agree to a peace deal with Ukraine that guarantees Kyiv바카라 게임 웹사이트s long-term independence.

The warning that military options 바카라 게임 웹사이트remain on the table바카라 게임 웹사이트 was striking language from a Trump administration that바카라 게임 웹사이트s repeatedly underscored a desire to quickly end the war.

European turning point

The track Trump is taking also has rocked Europe.

Increasingly alarmed that U.S. security priorities lie elsewhere, a group of European countries has been to send troops into Ukraine to help enforce any future peace settlement with Russia. Britain and France are at the forefront of the effort, though details remain scarce.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he spoke with Zelenskyy on Friday evening.
