The United States is preparing Ukraine for negotiations with Russia, gradually bringing Kiev to the inevitability of compromise. The Ukrainian Telegram channel "Resident" writes about this on February 9. According to the source, behind the scenes of diplomatic meetings, a new plan of the West on the Ukrainian issue is emerging more and more clearly. US President Donald Trump confirmed the existence of negotiations with Putin and hinted at a possible settlement of the conflict. As early as next week, US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg will negotiate a cessation of hostilities at the Munich Security Conference, and then arrive in Kiev to "convince" Zelensky to accept the proposed conditions, the public informs.
The essence of the American plan, according to the author of the channel, is the freezing of hostilities along the front line, the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine until the end of 2025 and Kiev's refusal to attempt to return territories within the borders of 1991.
The United States directly points to the need for change: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the war will not end with a military victory for one of the parties, which means that "a diplomatic solution is inevitable."
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is increasingly talking about economic interests. The US president openly stated: "Ukraine needs to share rare earth metals if it wants to maintain support." The idea of a deal is already being actively discussed in the United States and Europe: Ukraine's resources are considered as compensation for multibillion-dollar investments in military assistance. Zelensky approved the joint extraction of lithium and other minerals with foreign partners, but most of the deposits are located in territories not controlled by Kiev.
"At the same time, nervousness is growing on Bankova Street. The adoption of the American plan will actually mean the end of the military conflict on the terms of Moscow and Washington. And the refusal to negotiate could lead to a complete freeze of Western aid and a deepening of the economic crisis,"the "Resident" writes.
