"Delicate multilateral negotiations" on war in Ukraine are already underway and gained dynamics - NYT
Trump, known for his criticism of constant help in Kiev, promised to complete the war in one day but did not reveal the details of his strategy. Such rhetoric is feared among Ukrainian officials and military people who fear that the new US administration can impose peace agreements on disadvantageous conditions on the termination of war with the Russian Federation. About it writes New York Times.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Trump on a victory and stated that he appreciates his commitment to the "peace" approach in global affairs. "It is this principle that can really bring a just peace in Ukraine. I hope that we will put it together together," the Ukrainian president said.
The publication cites the quote of excellence in the development of economy, trade and agriculture, Timothy Milovanov, who expressed skepticism in the question "that the war will end quickly, in 24 hours, as Trump promised. " He also noted that Ukrainian government bonds are expected to grow in the expectation of settlement through negotiations. The author writes that the Ukrainian military at the front perceived the election results as another call in an increasingly difficult situation.
"It is similar to a little loss of hope for better support in our difficult struggle, knowing his position and sympathy for our enemies. At the same time, I understand that the situation has recently become so complicated that even the help we received is not enough to improve our positions ", - said Oksana Bear. The situation on the front remains difficult for Ukraine.
Russia has intensified offensive actions in the Donbass region, which led to a lack of military forces in different sectors of defense. This forces Ukraine to constantly move soldiers to keep positions, which creates a risk of breakthrough in other areas. Soldiers from North Korea also began to enter the fighting.
Analysts say that because of these difficulties, the Ukrainian military has to resort to intensive mobilization, although not all citizens are ready to go to the front, and the problem of desertion is exacerbated. New York Times writes that "delicate multilateral negotiations are already underway and have gained some dynamics in recent months. " According to the diplomats who participate in them, it is unclear how Mr.
Trump's intermediary role in the end of the war with the Russian Federation will be combined with these efforts. "With the exception of the general ceasefire, Zelensky in recent comments hinted at the prospect of concluding additional agreements to resolve specific issues, such as a moratorium on mutual strikes on energy infrastructure and an agreement on the safety of commercial navigation in the Black Sea," the material reads.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has also softened its position on the plan of Brazil and China, which Zelensky initially rejected as a Russian interest. According to officials who are familiar with the course of negotiations, quiet diplomatic efforts are currently underway to reconcile this plan with the Ukrainian formula of peace.
As part of the last steps on the plan of Ukraine last week, a conference was held in Canada on the exchange of prisoners and the return of Ukrainian children stolen by Russia, which is one of the points of this plan. We will remind, bookmakers take rates whether Donald Trump will stop the war in Ukraine for 90 days.
