Ukraine will be involved in peace talks with Russia: Trump

US President Donald Trump said that Ukraine will be involved in peace talks with Russia, with a meeting among the three countries possibly taking place as early as today. Trump said that US and Russian officials would meet in Munich today and that Ukraine had also been invited.

The announcement comes amid growing concerns in Kyiv and among its European allies that they could be excluded from talks aimed at ending Ukraine’s nearly three-year-old



war.

However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s communications adviser said that Kyiv did not expect to participate in any talks with Russian officials at the Munich Security Conference, contradicting Trump’s announcement.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, emphasizing the need for bold diplomacy to resolve the conflict.
