During this time, the starting positions for negotiations should be formed.
After Donald Trump's victory in the election, the Ukrainian authorities are allegedly convinced that he has 4-5 months to approach the negotiations in the strongest position, for which he needs to get as many weapons as possible and hold on to the field battle.
In Kyiv, they are waiting for Trump to elect officials who will be responsible for security and foreign policy. This will determine the Republican's approach to the Ukrainian issue. In any case, the authorities realize that the likelihood of joining NATO under the new administration has significantly decreased.
In general, according to the source, “a gloomy mood reigns in Ukraine, which is reflected in the latest speeches of President Zelensky.” According to the official, “people are extremely disappointed that, despite the powerful words of the Biden government, there have only been weak steps, especially over the past year.”
- Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga confirmed that preparations are underway for a meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump.
- The media claim that relations between Ukraine and Britain have worsened due to the unwillingness of the Keir Starmer government to transfer a new batch of Storm Shadow missiles.
