Facings tremendous pressure from the U.S. side on issues such as the negotiation process, territorial concessions, and NATO membership, Ukraine is currently adopting a strategy of "sticking to the bottom line and multi-dimensional countermeasures."
Ukraine has not compromised on key principles, while actively seeking breakthroughs in the U.S. domestic and international communities, trying to turn pressure into momentum that benefits itself.
Specifically, Ukraine's response measures mainly focus on the following aspects:
Refusing to recognize occupied territories at the negotiation table;
"Inside" operations in the U.S. Congress;
When the White House exerts pressure, Ukraine actively contacts Democratic and Republican legislators on Capitol Hill, successfully pushing forward two bills with dual functions: the Russia Sanctions Act and the Russian Asset Seizure Act (REPO).
Seeking substantial military support;
Strengthening ties with Europe;
Developing its own strength as leverage.
In summary, Ukraine's strategy is "to wait for change by delaying" - while holding firm on territorial and security bottom lines and gaining time to develop its own strength, it skillfully utilizes political maneuvering within the U.S. and changes in the international situation, with the ultimate goal of achieving a peace agreement with substantial guarantees.
