High-stakes negotiations that could decide the future of Eastern Europe must include Ukraine, top European diplomats have warned, after U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to hold talks.

“Peace can only be achieved together. And that means: with Ukraine and with the Europeans,” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock told POLITICO following Trump’s announcement of a dialogue with the Russian leader on Wednesday. “We must take this path together so that peace returns to Europe.”

Also speaking to POLITICO, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže said: “Ukrainian agency in any peace talks is crucially important.”

        That basically seems to be the plan when they talk about them paying us in rare earth metals. Almost all of their rare earth deposits are either in Russian occupied territory or is right on the border of it.

      I’m pretty high right now but hear me out. I think Trump could be convinced to try to get Russia to turn over Kaliningrad to the US. It won’t happen, but if the right guy whispered it in his ear he would probably blurt it out.
