The United States announced that Ukraine was invited to participate in upcoming peace talks with Russia, prompting unexpected reactions from Kyiv. Amidst this, former President Donald Trump confirmed that Ukrainian President Zelensky would be involved in the talks. However, many European leaders expressed concern over the adequacy of U.S. support for Ukraine and the potential for sidestepping key European interests. As the conference progresses, protesters gathered to urge officials to prioritize peace efforts over military escalations, highlighting a growing unease regarding the future of Ukraine and European security. With the atmosphere charged by statements from officials and the looming specter of bilateral talks, it remains to be seen how these discussions will affect the ongoing conflict and the geopolitical landscape.
