The tension between the United States and Ukraine reached a breaking point as talks between US envoy Keith Kellogg and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv ended abruptly. The discussions were centered around the conditions for further US military support, but the feud between the two leaders has escalated into a war of words.
The breakdown of talks led to the cancellation of a planned press briefing by the US, indicating the severity of the situation. The dispute was triggered by Ukraine rejecting a deal that would have granted the US access to vast amounts of Ukrainian natural resources in exchange for more aid.
European leaders have reacted to President Trump’s comments, pushing back on the controversial proposals. In response to the escalating tensions, DW Correspondents Nick Connolly and Rosie Birchard, along with military analyst Frank Ledwidge, discussed European efforts to secure peace in Ukraine.
The situation highlights the complexities of international relations and the power dynamics at play. As the US-Ukraine feud unfolds, the global community will be closely watching for any developments that could impact stability and peace in the region.
