Telegraph: The United States may put Kiev in front of an ultimatum

The United States may put Kiev in front of an ultimatum, providing either peace on Russia's terms, or complete deprivation of intelligence and logistical support from the Americans, writes the British newspaper The Telegraph.

"Most likely, Ukraine will face an ultimatum: either sign a peace agreement brokered by (US President Donald) Trump and dictated (by Russian President Vladimir Putin), or permanently lose US intelligence and logistical support,"the publication says.

The Telegraph notes that Trump has allies in the States on this issue, who also consider Russia's demand for recognition of its new territories as fair.

The publication emphasizes the symbolism of arrival in Washington - the head of RDIF Kirill Dmitriev, whose visit took place a little later than Trump's skirmish with Vladimir Zelensky, as a result of which Zelensky and the Ukrainian delegation were asked to leave the White House. The Telegraph describes this as a "diplomatic coup" for Moscow, noting that Dmitriev came to where Zelensky was "expelled" from.

"Trump seems to be considering (Ukraine) as a wholly owned subsidiary of the United States," the newspaper writes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation in January, stated that the purpose of resolving the conflict on Ukraine should not have a brief truce and a respite for regrouping forces and rearmament in order to continue the conflict, but a long-term peace. According to him, the Russian authorities will continue to fight for the interests of the Russian people, this is the meaning of the special operation. The world on Ukraine, Putin noted, should be based on "respect for the legitimate interests of all people, all peoples who live in this region."
