After the years of support from support, 10 days have included an American approach of Ukraine

Kiev, Ukraine – While Ukraine approached three-year-old brands of full invasion in Russia, hopes to earth to a pathway to favorable and permanent peace, in a few days were made in the day, administration of the US President Donald Trump.

Kyiv benefited from the years of glass support to his allies in the United States and Europe, which provided a key army and financial support to help defend the defense of Moscow intrudes.

But when Trump held a long-lasting phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin – the years of US policies to isolate the Russian leader over his aggression – was taken as a signal in Kiev and other European federation that their alliance was to contain Moscow.

Here is the timeline of the event:

On their 90-minute call, Trump and Putin agreed to start negotiations on completion wara move that was met with jubilation in Russia, but which Ukrainian President Volodyyr Zelensky was warning would be ” very dangerous “If Ukraine was excluded from the conversation.

Although Trump talked to Zelensky immediately after Putin’s call, the U.S. HEGSETH defense minister said that NATO membership would believe that Kiev would believe, for the protection of the country and Europe from future Russian attacks, was unrealistic. Suggested that Ukraine should leave hopes to beat all his territory, the perspective that is incredibly close to Moscow.

The speed of the Trump Transformation of American Policy towards Ukraine and Russia left many war tired Ukrainians the feeling that they are omitted Talks about their future and fearing that the work would forced to Washington and Moscow resulted in lost territory and vulnerability on future Russian aggression.

European leaders had their first opportunity to meet with members of the new Adute Administration at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, where they hoped to obtain clarity on Trump’s approach to war.

But the leaders were amazed as senior American officials, including JD Vance Lambasted European people, gave mixed signals to support Kyiv and proposed to Europe would not be negotiations for negotiations on Ukraine.

During very expected conversations between Vance and Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader said Vance that his country needs security guarantee as a prerequisite for involvement in any conversation with the brown to complete the war.

Zelenskyy also said he ordered his ministers not to unsubscribe Proposed contract to give in the United States access Ukraine rare earthen mineralsA key part of his conversations with Vance. Ukrainian officials said the U.S. proposal did not offer any special security guarantees in exchange for access to Ukraine huge reserves of critical minerals used in aircraft, defense and nuclear industry.

A senior official of the White House described Zelenian rejection as “short-sighted”.

On the last conference day, French President Emmanuel Macron began Rallying European leaders To determine their support in Ukraine, with its foreign minister announcing an emergency meeting “in Paris to assess the next continent steps.

Meanwhile, in the middle of concern that US support Kyivo failed, a group of European countries was quietly working on the plan To send troops to Ukraine to help carry out any future peace settlement with Russia.

American and Russian officials met for Talks in the capital of Saudi Arabiapoint Kiev and her European Bacci. The two countries agreed to work together to end the war in Ukraine and improve diplomatic and economic ties, extraordinarily approximately in American external policy.

However, three American directors at Riyadh-State Secretary – State Secretary of Mike Waltz and Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff – said a four-way debate focused mainly on the evaluation of Russia.

All three have publicly said that no specific proposals were placed on the table and remained to see if the Russians were willing to negotiate in good faith.

They also rejected the claims that Ukraine or Europeans were excluded, noting that in Riyadh, Trump, Vance and Rubili talked with Zelensk officials that would be involved if even when peace conversations actually start.

Zelenskyy talked conversations, saying that “do not give results” in the absence of Ukrainian participation. He postponed the plan to visit Riyadd the next day to avoid any connection between his journey from the US-Russia meeting.

Trump showed a little patience to Kyiv to be on the side of Riyadh, and inflammatory rhetoric that caused anger and alarm in Ukraine and that they were rubbed, Valcer and Witkoff appeared to perform.

Speaking from his Lago Resort, Trump gave a self-proposal that Ukraine itself is responsible To begin the war It cost tens of thousands of Ukrainian life and criticized Zelenksyy for Ukraine postponing elections for invasion, in accordance with the Ukrainian Constitution.

Trump’s comments and Wednesday post on the social media called Zelensky and he led to Zelenic, saying some of the claims of the President “that were created in Russia and that he would love the Trump team” to be true. ”

Trump, Zelenskyy said, lives in the Russian “misinformation space”.

As the relations between the two leaders eroded, one thing remained on the horizon that some observers thought that they could serve to reduce the temperature in disagreement between Washington and Kiev: Trump Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Ret. Lt. Gen. Keith KelloggHe arrived in the capital of Ukraine by train on Wednesday morning for discussions with Zelensky and other officials.

Kellogg was long Trump’s top adviser on defense issues. He should have talked to Zelensky’s efforts to end the war, and the Ukrainian leader said earlier that he was looking forward to explaining what was happening in Ukraine Kellogg and following to see the front line.

Press conference that was set to follow a meeting between Zelenskyy and Kellogg abruptly canceled at the request of the US Delegation.

In a free gesture that stood in the old contrast with the tone of the previous days, Kellogg wrote on X that he had a “long and intense day with the older leadership of Ukraine”.

He said he would had positive discussions with “a slack and brave leader of the nation in the war and its talented national security team”.

Still, Trump continued to lie in Zelenskyy, so that the visit of Kiev last week by Scott Bessent was a “lost trip” after the U.S. procurement for procurement further to procure the ordered orders.

At the same time, Walcer, Trump’s National Security Advisor, expressed trust for Zelenskyy to seal Rare country contract. “Here’s the bottom line. President Zelensky signs that deal,” Waltz said.

Trump, talking to “Brian Kilmeade Show” on the Fax News Radio, also rejected Zelensky’s appeal against not involved in Saudi conversations. He looked for security that Putin wanted to hit the contract.

“He doesn’t have to do,” Trump Putin said. “Because if he wants, he would get the whole country.”
