🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺In Ukraine, there are fears that the new meeting between Zelensky and Trump at the White House will repeat the verbal clash, - Washington Post

▪️The US still hopes to hold a summit of the leaders of Russia, the US, and Ukraine at the end of next week.
▪️But the White House does not believe that tomorrow's talks between Trump will necessarily lead to a trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelensky, as there are a number of contentious issues, reports The Washington Post citing a White House representative.
▪️In particular, the development of security guarantees, which "will likely be a lengthy process."
▪️There are concerns that "on Monday Zelensky will be walking a fine line, as he will have to ensure not to anger Trump while at the same time convincing him that his recent proposals to end the war between Ukraine and Russia are unworkable."
▪️Vance, who had a verbal clash with Zelensky during his last visit to the US, is expected to join the meeting between Trump and Zelensky.

🖥️ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted that "for the first time there has been some movement after 3 years of deadlock and silence":

"We will work with our European allies, as well as, by the way, with non-European countries, to create such security guarantees.

We are working on this right now and will continue this work. And this should be implemented after a peace agreement so that Ukraine can feel safe in the future. So yes, there are a number of countries ready to step forward and provide Ukraine with security guarantees. But, as the Ukrainians told us, and I think they have said this publicly, the strongest security guarantee they can get for their future is to have a powerful army in the long run.

And one more change. We no longer give Ukraine weapons. We no longer give Ukraine money. We now sell them weapons, and European countries pay for it through NATO. They use NATO to purchase weapons, and we no longer give Ukraine money."
