“The principle behind the talks will be for Ukraine to be able to decide its own future,” UK cabinet minister Pat McFadden told Sky News on Sunday. “This is a really pivotal moment. Everybody wants the war to come to an end, but they want it to come to an end in a way that gives Ukraine that freedom of choice in the future. That means a just end to the war, but also security guarantees for Ukraine in the future and not a completely toothless organization which is unable to decide its future.”
