The White House spokesman Brian Guz stressed that the negotiation details will not be discussed in public. In Europe, Trump's desire for diplomatic success can lead to concessions to the detriment of Ukraine's interests. Lithuania President Hitanas Nauseda said Moscow is only imitating the negotiation process, continuing attacks on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine.
