Müncher Security Conference
US representative Kellogg: Europe at Ukraine peace talks not at the table
The US special representative Kellogg is offset by Europeans in terms of peace negotiations for Ukraine and then provides explanations.
According to its Ukraine representative Keith Kellogg, the United States does not want to see any representatives of Europe at the negotiating table during talks about peace in Ukraine.
At the Munich Security Conference, Kellogg said on Saturday when asked whether he could confirm to the audience that Ukrainians and Europeans would sit at the table when talking: “The answer to this last question (regarding the European), as they formulated them, is no. ” The Ukrainians, however, would “of course” sit at the table, he said.
At the Munich Security Conference, Kellogg also emphasized the determination of the United States to end the war in Ukraine.
Peace between Ukraine and Russia: Mixed signals from the USA
He said it was wrong to think that US President Donald Trump would do that alone. “We never have that, he never said. It is all a definition of terms,” said Kellogg. “America at first is never America alone,” said the special representative. And: “If we agree with a peace agreement, a peace deal, we make sure that it can be carried out, a good deal, a fair deal.”
The government of the new US President Donald Trump recently came different signals about their planned procedure in connection with the end of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Baerbock: Even conciliatory tones of the US government
The German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasized that at the conference she also heard conciliatory tones from the US government. This was a contrast to the speech by US Vice President JD Vance. “I met a foreign minister today and heard the special representative of the US President for Ukraine and there completely different tones,” Baerbock told TV channels RTL/NTV on Saturday with a view of their meetings with Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and Kellogg. Both made it clear that it was about NATO’s unity.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha said in the discussion round that his government was more hopeful. However, he demanded clarity in the terms. “We are talking about a fair, comprehensive and long-lasting peace, not the absence of war,” he said. The Ukrainian recipe for this is “peace through strength”. It is now also to Europe to show strength.
