Agreement with territorial concessions of Ukraine will not work, – Kuleba on Trump's peace plan Margarita Voloshina

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba expressed doubts that US President-elect Donald Trump would be able to mediate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

He cannot imagine that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin would agree to such a development. This was reported by 24 Channelwith reference to statements by Dmytro Kuleba in an interview with Politico.

What Kuleba said about Trump's “peace plans”

Putin still believes that he can destroy Ukrainian statehood and break Ukraine as an independent democracy, and he believes that he is one step closer to showing the West as weak… Ukraine is a personal obsession for Putin, the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry assured.

According to him, the destruction of Ukraine is also a means to achieve the dictator's great goal, in particular to show the world that the West is “incapable of defending itself or what it stands for.”

Kuleba also stressed that an agreement that would involve concessions from Ukraine, in particular territorial ones, would not work, since Putin is not interested in diplomacy, but is only trying to “wear down the West.”

Dmytro Kuleba also noted that Volodymyr Zelensky is also unlikely to sign any agreement that would involve the transfer of occupied territories to Russia, in particular Crimea and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

In addition to the above, he stated that one of the worst-case scenarios could occur if Donald Trump stopped supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine “to make it more pliable,” since, in his opinion, Europe would not be able to compensate for the loss or reduction of support from the United States.

By the way, Politico previously reported that Donald Trump, having become the newly elected US president, continues to advocate for a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine, but he may face a number of difficulties. For this, the situation at the front must be stable, which is not yet the case.
