And soon after, he announced that he initiating peace talks with Russia, which followed a one-on-one 90-minute long conversation with Russian President Vladmir Putin, about which European leaders are now feeling blindsided about, says a Guardian report.

European leaders taken back by Trump-Putin talks

The talks between Putin and Trump did not include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and Ukraine’s allies from Europe have insisted that any negotiations involving Ukraine must involve the country's representative or leader in the first place, says the Guardian. Moreover, European leaders were also amazed at the extent of concessions Trump was offering to the Russian President.

Meanwhile, Zelensky remained calm and composed even after being left out of the Trump-Putin talk, but claimed that he had a very 'meaningful' discussion with the US President that took place sometime after the Trump-Putin meeting. According to Zelensky, the talks that happened recently may be the outline of what promises to be a 'lasting peace'.
