Trump-Putin Talks Spark Fears of NATO-Russia Conflict Over Ukraine

Tensions are rising as former U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to discuss Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reportedly considering territorial divisions and control over key assets. European leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, have proposed a 'coalition of the willing' to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, a move Russia warns could escalate into World War III. The EU’s foreign policy chief has dismissed Russia’s interest in peace, while the White House insists a resolution has never been closer. The talks highlight growing divisions between Western allies and concerns over the future of Ukraine’s sovereignty. European nations are now reassessing their geopolitical stance as the U.S. and Russia negotiate Ukraine’s fate.
