At the end of the day, Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social network, accusing Ukrainian leaders of lacking gratitude for US efforts and criticizing European countries for continuing to buy oil from Russia. According to Trump, European purchases financially support Russia’s aggressive actions, while Ukrainian expressions of thanks are insufficient.
Trump further claimed that the war between Ukraine and Russia would never have started if he had been president, a recurring message aimed at his US supporters. Analysts view Trump’s political future as uncertain, and his statements continue to impact the international debate on Ukraine.
Keith Kellogg, former Trump advisor, voiced his support for the American peace plan and highlighted the need for elections in Ukraine as part of the broader agreements. Kellogg believes Ukraine is close to a stage where a peace agreement is possible and that holding elections would help stabilize the nation and reassure society.
According to Kellogg, the plan calls for elections within 100 days after a freeze in hostilities. Achieving such a ceasefire, however, requires negotiations with Russia, which remains unpredictable under Vladimir Putin. For Russia, temporary peace could serve as an opportunity to regroup economically and militarily.
Experts note that progress depends on both US strategy and Ukrainian authorities’ willingness to make difficult decisions. Meanwhile, European countries have expressed opposition to some elements of the proposed plan. Analysts conclude that only a stable ceasefire would allow for elections and gradual stabilization in Ukraine.
