The US wants to give Ukraine security guarantees. Summary of the night


Security guarantees for Ukraine
President Donald Trump informed European and Ukrainian leaders that the United States is ready to ensure, under certain conditions, security guarantees for Ukraine – say three people familiar with the case. The conversation took place on Wednesday as part of a virtual meeting organized by Germany, which aimed to coordinate the positions of American and European before the Friday meeting of Trump with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump stated that he would take such a commitment only if NATO is not involved in it.
Trump soothes sanctions
The United States decided to temporarily alleviate some of the sanctions imposed on Russia. This decision is to enable the necessary transactions related to the organization of the Friday summit of the US and Russia leaders in Alaska. The information was provided by the Control Office over foreign assets of the American Finance Department. The suspension of the sanctions is to apply until August 20. Frozen Russian assets were not unlocked or allowed other transactions.
Three -sided peak? Certainly not in Finland
Donald Trump did not hide the doubts about the effects of the upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The US President was to say that after two minutes of conversation he would know if the Russian leader really strives for peace – said the President of Finland Alexander Stubb after completed consultations with European leaders.
Stubb also cut speculation that Finland could host the three-sided Putin-Trump-Zełenski peak. According to the Finnish president, there is agreement that such a meeting could take place in Europe, but Finland will not be this country, and its possible organization depends on the results of talks in Alaska.
What awaits us on Thursday?
Today at noon at the Presidential Palace, President Karol Nawrocki will meet with Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The meeting will take place at the request of the head of the government.
The Nawrocki-Tusk meeting will take place after three Wednesday international meetings that took place on Ukraine. The first of them was carried out in a narrow format of European leaders with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelnski. Prime Minister Donald Tusk took part in it. During this conversation, a European position was discussed before the Friday meeting of US President Donald Trump with the Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The second meeting is a teleconference of European leaders with President Trump and President Zelnski, at which the European position was presented. In this meeting, Poland was represented by President Karol Nawrocki. After this conversation, the third meeting with thirty European leaders took place with Tusk's participation.
In the District Court for Warsaw Śródmieście, the first trial of Zbigniew Komosa's private accusation against PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński is to take place today for violating bodily integrity. The proceedings concern the incident of October 10, 2024, when, according to Kimosa, Jarosław Kaczyński hit him in the face twice during the celebration of the Smolensk monthly at pl. Piłsudski in Warsaw.
The Sejm repealed Kaczyński's immunity in this case on December 6 last year, which enabled formal court proceedings.
