The European Union clearly pushed President Donald Trump’s “Land Swapping” after a ministerial pavo on Monday, and told Fox News Digital, until Russia agreed to stop its war, there should be no “concessions”.
European Union policy head Kaza Kalas, in a written statement, told Fox News Digital, “Russia does not agree to complete and unconditional ceasefire, we should not even discuss any concession.” “It has never worked with Russia in the past, and will not work with Putin today.
“The sequencing of the steps is important,” he said. “First a strong monitoring system and an unconditional ceasefire with Ironclad safety guarantee.”
Kalas called for a virtual meeting of the European Union Foreign Ministers – as well as Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andry Sibiha, who revolted the authorities on “ongoing diplomatic efforts and battlefield status” on Monday – set up in Alaska after the announcement of the upcoming meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.

While the talks on Monday addressed additional sanctions against Russia, more military aids for Ukraine and more monetary support for Kiev, they also matched with the comments made by Trump, who killed a significant note by Ukrainian President Volodimir Zalensky.
European leaders have directly responded to Trump’s rebuke accent before their meeting with Putin on Friday, although Kallas’ comments have neither supported the European Union nor Ukraine Trump’s most recent proposal that Ukraine and Russia support the “Swap” borders.
“We fully support a way at the end of this war that does not leave a back door for Russia to re -enter and resume its aggression,” he said. “Ukraine’s rights as a sovereign nation exist, as well as the security of our European continent.”

The details of Trump’s upcoming meeting with Putin are relatively unknown, although European officials are eager to remind the two leaders of the need to include him and Kiev in a high-level talks.
“The US has the power to force Russia to talk seriously,” Kalas told Fox News Digital. “Any deal between the US and Russia should include Ukraine and the European Union, as it is a matter of security of Ukraine and the whole of Europe.”
Kalas are stable in their determination that any interaction on Ukraine should include Europe as the continent reduces its most important danger since World War II.
But it is not only involved in any security talks in Europe to remind the European Union leader Trump, but is the regional sovereignty of Ukraine.
“As we work towards a permanent and only peace, international law is clear: all temporarily occupied the area of Ukraine,” Kalas said. “A permanent peace also means that aggression cannot be rewarded.”
European leaders from the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Finland and the European Union issued a statement that “the path of peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.”
Zelansky puts Trump’s Ire at risk and on Saturday, after the US President suggested on Saturday, observed that Ukraine and Russia May could do “Swap” area.

In the context of Russia, Trump told the White House reporters, “You are looking at an area that has been fought for 3.5 years”. “We are watching it. But we are watching swapping. We are going to get something back.”
Zelansky confirmed that “Ukrainians would not give their land to the occupiers.”
He said, “Any decisions made against us, any decision made without Ukraine – they are taking decisions against peace,” he said. “These are dead decisions; they will never work. And we all need a real, living peace, one that people will respect.”
In his comments by Fox News Digital, Kalas saw Trump to remind Trump that Putin’s interests are beyond the only land grabbing in Ukraine – this is an existential threat to the European continent.

“Russia’s war purpose is more than seizing the region in Ukraine,” he said. “Russia launched this war to destroy the security of Ukraine and Europe.
“A deal should not provide a springboard for Ukraine, the transatlantic alliance and further Russian aggression against Europe,” he said.
German Chancellor Frederick Merz invited Trump, Zelanski and NATO general secretary Mark Rute for a more virtual meeting on Wednesday, with other European leaders before Trump’s top talks, on Monday.
Trump on Monday reiterated his goal that he would first meet with Putin, and then Zelancesi would meet the US President or without Putin to secure a ceasefire.
