#Ukraine #Russia - European leaders plan emergency talks in response to US-Russia meeting on Ukraine | DW News

16 February 2025

The United States plans to push ahead with talks with Russia aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. This after Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke on the phone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Rubio is currently in Israel on a tour of the Middle East. He's due to travel on to Saudi Arabia, where reports say he'll start the talks with Russian negotiators.

This news comes ahead of the last day of the Munich Security Conference, where key discussions centered on Ukraine and European security challenges.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy firmly rejected any idea of a peace deal coordinated without Ukraine and Europe's involvement, and warned against separating European and American security interests.

He criticized US President Trump's recent phone call with the Russian President, which has left European leaders scrambling to be included in negotiations on ending the Ukraine war.
