7:48Now PlayingUkraine Ambassador to EU Vsevolod Chentsov Speaks to Guy Johnson and Valerie Tytel on Bloomberg TV as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his European allies arrive in Washington anxious to find out what Donald Trump committed to at his summit with Vladimir Putin and apprehensive that he’ll force Kyiv into making unpalatable concessions.
Trump will host Zelenskiy and several European leaders to set out terms for a potential peace deal he discussed with Putin at last Friday’s meeting in Alaska. While the US is expected to focus on territorial concessions demanded by Russia, Kyiv will seek to pin down possible security guarantees.
Unease hangs over the allies, who have few options for pushing back on demands from Trump that Ukraine may oppose, and are skeptical that Putin really wants peace. Another challenge is Trump himself: he wants a quick peace deal but has offered little clarity on how to get there.
