Europe may not be at the table when the US holds talks with Russia over Ukraine, US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg said on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference. However, Kiev will undoubtedly be present, he added.<\/p>\n

Kellogg clarified that the interests of other concerned parties would be taken into account.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we don\u2019t want to do is get into a large group discussion,\u201d<\/em> he added, as quoted by CNBC.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump discussed possible Ukraine negotiations during a phone call on Wednesday. Following the conversation, the Trump said that American and Russian officials would meet in Munich on Friday, with Ukraine also invited to participate. However, no such meeting was announced by the conference or media outlets.<\/p>\n

When asked if he could name the requirements for a credible security guarantee for Ukraine, Kellogg replied, \u201cThe answer right now is no,\u201d<\/em> noting that he was attending the Munich conference to gather insights from Ukraine and Europe. He opined that the US sometimes has a tendency to view issues solely from its own perspective.<\/p>\n

US Vice President J.D. Vance, who attended the event as well, also insisted on the start of direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. \u201cIt\u2019s important for us to get together and start to have the conversations that are going to be necessary to bring this thing to a close,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said coming negotiations could mark a watershed in EU-US relations. \u201c[The US] expects Europe to take the lead in securing any agreement that follows. These negotiations can be a turning point for our continent and transatlantic relations. A historic turning point that can go in very different directions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

However, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has cautioned that some vested interests want to sabotage the peace process. \u201cThe European pro-war, liberal elite will try to do everything in its power to ensure that the peace agreement that ends the war in Ukraine is not reached, which is currently closer than ever,\u201d<\/em> the diplomat said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
