The U.S. is actively pursuing a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, but many critics express concern over the consequences for Ukraine of such negotiations. Recent discussions included a controversial proposal by the U.S. which demands Ukraine divert significant profits in exchange for aid while lacking security guarantees. Ukrainian officials, including former diplomat Dmytro Kuleba, have grown less optimistic about Ukraine's future as pressures from the Trump administration mount, potentially undermining the country's position amidst ongoing conflicts.
The U.S. has proposed a deal in which Ukraine would divert $500 billion in rare-earth mineral profits to Washington in exchange for aid but without a security guarantee.
I personally, and Ukraine as a whole, we underestimated the pressure that Trump and his administration will begin to exert on Ukraine given his desire to strike a quick deal.
