The recent visit to Washington is widely discussed in Ukrainian society. The author presents his vision of the visit's main outcome: the issue of territories is no longer an international topic but is being shifted to a bilateral format between Ukraine and Russia.
This shift removes the territorial subject from the global agenda, altering how an end to the war may be pursued. The role of Western countries and the US becomes more advisory, and key negotiations are likely to take place directly between Kyiv and Moscow.
The author expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of this bilateral approach for peace talks and emphasizes the importance of national unity, public readiness, and Ukraine’s preparation for negotiations in a challenging environment.
Further details on the situation's development are expected in the coming days, enabling clearer conclusions about the prospects for a peaceful settlement.
