European leaders warn Zelensky before Trump: what is at stake

Call for caution in negotiations

According to Главком: European leaders have urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to be cautious in negotiations with US President Donald Trump. At a meeting held on December 28, key issues such as security guarantees, territorial concessions, and the recovery plan for Ukraine were discussed. Participants emphasized the importance of aligning all aspects to avoid potential risks for Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the need to accelerate work on security guarantees for Ukraine. At the same time, a joint settlement plan between Ukraine and the US has already been agreed upon by 90%. This indicates active work between the two countries towards achieving stability in the region.

During the discussion, Friedrich Merz, one of the participants, noted that Zelensky should

“not go too far”

in his demands and concessions. The Prime Ministers of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway emphasized that any concessions on territorial issues should not occur without firm and documented security guarantees. Such warnings highlight the importance of a careful approach to issues that may impact Ukraine's future.
