Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is using talks in Berlin to rally European backing, shape US-led peace efforts and test whether Kyiv could trade its NATO ambitions for binding security guarantees. This comes as disagreements over territory, funding and Russia’s intentions continue to complicate the search for an end to the war.
Zelensky spent more than five hours on Sunday in talks with US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, meeting under heavy security at the German chancellery.
