On Ukrainian television, experts discussed the complex issues facing the country. The main topics included Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan, a corruption scandal, and personnel changes in the government and president’s administration.
Economists and political scientists noted that Ukraine cannot outright reject Trump’s initiative, as this could harm relations with Western partners who provide military support. They emphasized that the plan is a “first draft” for negotiations, with provisions needing discussion and revision, especially considering the interests of Europe, which is currently not represented in the plan.
Experts highlighted that many points within the document are unacceptable for Ukraine, including territorial concessions, neutrality, and mechanisms for reducing the army. The importance of European involvement in negotiations was stressed, as EU support is critical both financially and politically.
Other influencing factors include the ongoing political crisis and scandals around key government figures, which may weaken Kyiv’s position. Speakers suggested that major breakthroughs in negotiations are unlikely in the near future, but the emergence and discussion of the peace plan may open opportunities for real talks between the main parties to the conflict.
