President VolOdymyryy Zenskyy said that Ukraine may have lost respect or risk losing a key partner as they respond to the US Peace Peatel and his country.
“This is one of the most difficult times in our history,” Zelenskyy said in a video address to the nation. “Right now, the pressure on Ukraine is one of the hardest. Ukraine may now face a very difficult choice, either lose its reputation or risk losing a key partner.”
He said that Ukraine “will work humbly with the United States and all partners” and vowed to work constructively.
Zelenskyy spoke earlier by phone with the leaders of Germany, France and the United Kingdom, who assured him that European officials are planning to respond to us with peace proposals that are obviously catching Una unaware.
The US plan contains many of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s long-term commitments, including a concession on Ukraine, while offering limited security guarantees to Ukraine.
Efforts are recommended, but concerns raised
Coming to the realization of US President Donald Trump, the European and Ukrainian responses were cautious and praised the American peace efforts.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer assured Zelenskyy of “their absolute support” in the Ukrainian office, Merz’s office said.
The President of Ukraine Voldymyr Zesenskyy says he wants to discuss with us the President of the US Donald Trump in the peace process The US is working with Russia in Ronbas in Russia and in providing weapons.
The four leaders welcomed our efforts to end the war. “In particular, they have accepted the commitment to the sovereignty of Ukraine and the readiness to contribute to the strong security of Ukraine,” the statement said.
“They agreed to continue to pursue the goal of protecting the vital interests of Europe and Ukraine in the long term,” the statement said. “That includes the line of communication being the point of departure from the agreement and that the armed forces of Ukraine must remain in a position to effectively defend the sovereignty of Ukraine.”
Tarmer said the right of Ukraine to “determine its future under its sovereignty is a fundamental principle.”
The president of the European Council Antonio Costa in Johannesburg, South Africa, at the G20 summit said about the proposals of the US, “the European Union has not been transferred any plans within [an] legal way. “
‘Existent Threat’: Former EU official
European countries see their future at stake in Ukraine’s fight against a full-scale attack by Russia and insist on negotiating peace efforts.
“The war between Russia and Ukraine is a danger that exists in Europe. We all want this war to end. But what does the official of the foreign policy say. “Russia has no legitimacy in any agreement from the country it was attacked. In the end, the terms of any agreement is for Ukraine to decide.”
The plan saw Ukraine cede territory to Russia, something Zelenskyy has ruled out repeatedly, reduce the size of its army and pave its way to NATO membership.
Zelenskyy said the leaders discussed the plan and appreciated the efforts of Trump and his team, although he added that they are “working on the document.”
“We have coordinated a lot to ensure that positions with goals are considered,” Zelenskyy said in a telegraph post.
These proposals come at a difficult time for Zelenskyy, who is facing a controversy over pressure on the battlefield by Russia’s Army and a major domestic scandal.
The Kremlin gave a reserved response, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying Moscow had not formally received the US peace plan.
“No, we have not received anything officially. We are seeing new things. But officially, we have not received anything. And there have never been any other discussions of these points,” said the journalists of these points.
He also said that the contacts with Russia are “continuing, “but” there is nothing high right now. “
