#Ukraine - Bully diplomacy: Is Trump forcing Ukraine into a peace deal with Russia? | DW News Desk

5 March 2025

With US support to Ukraine in question, can Europe fill the gap, and how long can Kyiv hold out? The Trump administration has paused military aid to Ukraine, ramping up pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate peace with Russia.

The move follows a tense Oval Office meeting where Trump and Vice President JD Vance scolded Zelenskyy for lacking gratitude after receiving $180 billion in US aid.

Trump insists Ukraine must show a “commitment” to ending the war before funding resumes. Critics see the freeze as political extortion that could embolden Russia. #newsdesk #DonaldTrump #Ukraine

18 February 2025

Europe, Ukraine and much of the world are reeling after senior American officials sent a clear message at the Munich Security Conference:

European security is no longer an American priority. The United States' new direction is already in place as high-level Russian and American teams arrive in Saudi Arabia this week for bilateral talks on ending the war in Ukraine. Notably absent is Ukraine itself.

President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Saudi Arabia this week, but he is not part of the negotiation. Europe is also not invited. European leaders pulled together an emergency meeting in Paris, facing the possibility they may have to implement a Ukraine peace deal despite having no say in it.

Munich was ground zero for this weekend's world-changing events. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was keynote speaker at the security conference there, where. Christiane spoke with him about his plans to speak for Ukraine — even as the U.S. and Russia exclude him from the table. Originally aired on February 17, 2025
