The State Duma named the purpose of the meeting of European leaders with Trump

The European Union (EU), led by the United Kingdom and France, is putting intense pressure on US President Donald Trump to ensure that NATO countries make a joint decision on the Ukrainian issue. This was announced on September 8 by Alexey Chepa, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.

Earlier, the American leader said that a number of European leaders would arrive in the United States on Monday and Tuesday to discuss a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, IA Regnum reports.

According to Chepa, EU leaders are currently trying to do everything to ensure that Trump renegotiates certain agreements reached in Anchorage. The MP believes that they will put pressure on the American leader to allow them to send their peacekeepers to Ukraine, as well as make other concessions beneficial to Europe.

"Trump, of course, can make concessions to them. To a certain extent, it will be so. He cannot completely resist NATO, but everything will depend largely on the course of action of the special operation. The more successful our offensive is, the more difficult it will be for European countries to put pressure on Trump," the parliamentarian stressed in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

The language of delusion: will the US convince Ukraine to agree to a deal

If this attempt fails and Washington withdraws from the settlement, the EU will have to dramatically increase spending on supporting Kiev.

On September 7, Trump announced that he wanted to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon, RT reports. The American leader also expressed confidence in the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, according to the website. kp.ru .

Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not rule out a second round of talks between Putin and Trump on September 5. According to him, if necessary, a meeting between the two leaders can be organized very quickly. The Kremlin's official representative also added that the interests of Moscow and Washington coincide if the head of the White House can contribute to a diplomatic settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
