Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Kyiv is prepared for direct negotiations with Russia only after aligning its stance with the U.S. and Europe. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he emphasized the need for a unified approach to counter "the dangerous Putin." U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth noted negotiations don’t require trust, but a strategic plan. European leaders fear Trump may push Ukraine into an unfavorable deal. Trump previously claimed he discussed Ukraine peace talks with Putin, signaling potential concessions on NATO and territory. Ukraine remains firm on consulting allies before engaging with Moscow.
