Breaking News: Zelenskyy revealed that the United States and Ukraine have reached an agreement that any peace agreement with Russia will be put to a national referendum in Ukraine.

Comment: Zelenskyy's proposal for a peace agreement to be decided by a national referendum essentially gives him an escape route under pressure from major powers. On one hand, he has to compromise on the U.S. mediation plan, but on the other hand, he is afraid of directly bearing the blame for ceding territory or making concessions. By shifting the most difficult decision to a public vote, he avoids offending the United States and minimizes political risks.
