Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special representative for Ukraine, said that although Ukrainian President Zelenskyy verbally agreed to sign the U.S.-proposed peace plan, in reality, he would not sign it, nor would his European allies allow him to sign it. Therefore, there will be a lot of statements and modifications to the peace plan. After the U.S.-Ukraine negotiations, the number of items was reduced from 28 to 19, with many contents unfavorable to Ukraine being removed. This is what Zelenskyy wanted: to ensure that Russia rejects the plan and attribute the responsibility of refusing to continue negotiations to Russia.
Zelenskyy clearly knows that instead of arguing with the United States, he should say: "We are always ready for dialogue, ready for negotiations, ready for meetings, let's start taking action." This is a clever strategy, turning something unacceptable into something acceptable. Now, the responsibility for the ceasefire falls on Russia.
Yermak, the head of Zelenskyy's office, stated that the negotiations between Ukraine and the United States on the peace plan have not ended yet. Moreover, Zelenskyy's European allies are not relaxing either, making various demands, some of which are quite absurd. The most important thing is to provide more information and continue to exert pressure, indicating that Russia refuses all proposals.
