Introduction
WW.GMBH War.events political.events
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed several key concerns about the U.S. proposal regarding peace negotiations and Ukraine’s future
Main Concerns
Exclusion from Talks
Zelenskyy is deeply concerned that the U.S. and Russia are negotiating over Ukraine’s future without involving his government, undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and decision-making power
Lack of Security Guarantees
He insists on “real security guarantees” before any agreement, especially given the U.S. reluctance to support Ukraine’s NATO membership or full territorial restoration.
Favoring Putin’s Agenda
Zelenskyy fears that the U.S. might push for concessions, such as territorial giveaways, effectively aligning with Russian demands and allowing Putin to regroup militarily.
Unilateral U.S. Approach
He criticized Trump for speaking with Putin before consulting Ukraine, which he found “unpleasant,” and worries about Washington prioritizing a quick resolution over a just one.
Consequences
Weakened Sovereignty: If excluded, Ukraine risks being pressured into unfavorable terms.
Strained Alliances
The lack of coordination could damage trust between Kyiv, Washington, and Europe.
Prolonged Conflict Risk
A rushed or imbalanced deal could enable Russia to prepare for future aggression.
Conclusion
Zelenskyy has emphasized that no agreement should be made without Ukraine’s direct involvement to ensure its sovereignty and security are protected.
