Reuters reporting that Ukraine, “aims to hold a meeting of key European allies in December,” according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s spokesperson. The spokesperson noted that the meeting is needed, “to coordinate joint position and ensure Ukraine is strong for talks and on battlefield.”

  • The meeting is another signal that ceasefire talks between Ukraine and Russia could take place in the early days of the administration of US President-elect Donald Trump. Trump met with French President Emmanuel Macron and Zelenskyy yesterday – the first Trump-Zelenskyy meeting since the US presidential election. Axios reports: “A source familiar with the meeting said it lasted 45 minutes and was "good and fruitful."”
  • Trump said after the meeting, in a wide-ranging post: “There should be an immediate ceasefire [in Ukraine] and negotiations should begin.” In his first network media interview since winning re-election, Trump said he is “actively” working towards a ceasefire but declined to reveal whether he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
  • Zelenskyy wrote on X: "President Trump is, as always, resolute. I thank him. ... We all want this war to end as soon as possible and in a just way… We spoke about our people, the situation on the ground, and a just peace."
  • The prospect of a ceasefire may be bolstered by the rapid capitulation of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, which appeared to demonstrate that the war in Ukraine has drained Moscow’s resources to such an extent that it couldn’t defend its most important regional partner.
