Trump’s peace plan vs. Putin’s demands: Ukraine speaks out | Oleksiy Haran

TVP World, 20.12.2022

As peace talks between the United States and Russia continue, Ukraine warns that Moscow’s participation may be deceptive. Professor Oleksiy Haran, Research Advisor Director of the Democratic Initiatives Foundation, explains why freezing the front line is already a painful compromise and why further concessions would threaten not only Ukraine, but also Europe. He discusses Poland’s strategic role, Western divisions, and the risk of mistaking dialogue with Russia for a genuine commitment. A sober assessment of whether Trump’s peace initiative can realistically succeed.

President Macron perhaps tried to please Trump's ears but the words about dialogue with Russia will be interpreted by the Kremlin as a weakness.
