The USA changes its demands on Ukraine: from clear deadlines for the peace plan to flexible negotiations

The USA changes its demands on Ukraine

The United States of America has abandoned its strict requirement for Ukraine to agree on a peace plan by November 27. Currently, the deadlines have become more flexible, opening new opportunities for negotiations. Negotiations are ongoing in Geneva with the participation of Ukraine, the USA, the European Union, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Italy. The final decision regarding the peace plan must be made by the presidents of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the USA, Donald Trump.

The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Washington is no longer insisting on a specific date for Kyiv's response. This indicates a change in approaches in the diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Importantly, the updated plan does not involve the surrender of territories by Ukraine, which may become a subject of further discussions.

Negotiations and Their Consequences

Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) note that Russia is likely to reject any proposals that do not account for Kyiv's capitulation. However, there are signals that President Trump’s team is listening, which may indicate a willingness for constructive negotiations. Any further decisions must ensure full respect for Ukrainian sovereignty, which remains a key issue in this process.

Flexibility in deadlines may allow Ukraine to better prepare for negotiations, considering the internal and external factors affecting the situation. The continuation of negotiations at the international level emphasizes the importance of supporting allies in achieving stable and lasting peace in the region.
