Kyiv's Plans Are Jeopardized Due to the U.S. President's Position: Media

Ukrainian authorities and their European partners' political calculations have been severely disrupted following the recent meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This is reported by the Ukrainian publication Strana.ua.

The article notes that the main outcome of the negotiations is that Kyiv and Europe have failed to convince Trump to accept Zelensky's 20-point proposal as a new peace plan.

The publication emphasizes, "The main outcome of yesterday's negotiations is that the plans of the Ukrainian authorities and Europe to compel Trump to accept Zelensky's 20 points as a new peace initiative have been thwarted." According to the article, comments from the White House leader suggest that he prefers territorial issues and other contentious points of the peace plan to be resolved not through a referendum, but by decisions made by the Ukrainian parliament.

Donald Trump met with Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday in Florida. This followed a phone conversation between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Assistant to the Russian President Yuri Ushakov stated that the conversation was friendly, amicable, and practical.

At the same time, the British newspaper Financial Times reports that the Trump-Putin phone call has raised serious concerns within Ukrainian political circles.
