Hey folks! 🌟 European leaders are turning up the heat, demanding that Ukraine gets a seat at the table in the upcoming Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. With the three-year war still raging, Kyiv’s inclusion isn’t just a courtesy—it could shape any future peace deal.
Here’s the rundown:
- Summit Location: Alaska, this Friday.
- EU Stance: All decisions must include Kyiv and key European powers.
- Video Summit: EU foreign ministers plus Ukraine’s top diplomat, Andriy Sybiga, meet online on Monday.
- White House Waitlist: US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker says President Trump will decide if President Zelenskyy can attend.
Across Europe—from Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz to the Nordic and Baltic states—leaders agree: no peace without Ukraine. Even EU heavyweight Kaja Kallas emphasized that any deal to end the conflict must involve Kyiv and the bloc.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield in Sumy region, Ukraine’s forces reclaimed a frontline village, showing their resilience. Still, Moscow’s peace terms ask Kyiv to pull back, go neutral, and ditch US/EU support—conditions Ukraine firmly rejects. As Zelenskyy himself has noted, diplomacy, not force, is the key to winning territory back.
For tech-savvy movers and shakers in South and Southeast Asia, this story highlights how global dynamics hinge on having every voice heard. Just like a group project in college, you can’t leave a teammate out and expect success! 🎓💡
Keep your feeds locked for updates—this summit could be a game-changer for global peace. 🙏✌️
