Today, Lianhe Zaobao reported: "Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that the peace agreement security proposal put forward by the United States comes at the expense of Ukraine's interests, requiring Kyiv to cede Ukraine's eastern region of Donbas to Russia."

Commentary: This statement reveals America's strategic retreat and reallocation of resources toward the Middle East, willing to sacrifice Ukraine's core interests—exchanging territorial concessions for a ceasefire—demonstrating a unilateral calculation that treats allies as pawns in geopolitical chess. Zelenskyy's public accusation not only exposes Ukraine's vulnerability and passivity amid great power rivalry but also exposes the hollowness of American 'security guarantees,' highlighting how the Russia-Ukraine conflict is being redefined according to U.S. global strategic priorities, with the territorial integrity of sovereign nations reduced to mere trade-offs in expedient deals.
