The US envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, announced that Europe will not participate in the upcoming peace talks regarding Ukraine and Russia, although they will be consulted. Kellogg emphasized the need for European nations to contribute concrete proposals and increase defense spending rather than complain about their exclusion. His comments have raised concerns among European leaders, who feel their security is closely tied to Ukraine's fate. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Europe risks being sidelined in negotiations and called for the establishment of a European army, with Ukraine playing a central role. He stressed that any agreements affecting Ukraine should involve Ukraine directly. European leaders, including Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk, echoed the need for a unified European strategy on security and military matters. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte urged continued engagement with the US, while Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna expressed optimism about US intentions to secure a just end to the war. Zelenskyy is also navigating complex negotiations regarding US control over Ukraine's resources, seeking long-term security guarantees against future Russian threats.
