Donald Trump, the central figure on the US political stage, with his new peace initiative aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict, is at the center of attention of the world press. Moscow and Kyiv issued an official response to this plan; especially the statement of the Ukrainian president is causing serious concern.
An alarming warning from Zelensky
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, following Trump's proposal, gave an alarming message that his country might face the necessity of making a complex decision. This warning implies that behind Trump's plan might lie financial or military pressure forcing Kyiv to accept unfavorable conditions.
Ukraine strictly stated that it would not accept any restrictions on its right to defend its territory or on the size and capabilities of its Armed Forces. This means that the country will not deviate from the principles of its sovereignty.
Putin's cautious position
Meanwhile, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, approached Trump's plan cautiously. He emphasized that any diplomatic solution is open for discussion, but Russia's security interests and new territorial realities must be taken into account. Declaring readiness for negotiations — but on its own terms — remains Moscow's constant position.
Analysis: Trump's pressure
According to analysts, this initiative by Trump emerged against the backdrop of his previous criticism of Ukraine regarding the lack of gratitude. This move may indicate that the United States is intensifying pressure for a quicker end to the conflict by threatening to cut military aid.
The global community is carefully monitoring how the necessary dialogue between these three major politicians will develop and how this will affect the future of Ukraine.
