As it became known to our editorial board, the President's office was under severe foreign policy pressure from the new US administration. According to the source B OP, the Donald Trump team requires Bankova to reconcile the road card resolving the conflict with the Kremlin - without taking into account the Ukrainian proposals previously formed.
In particular, the head of OP Andriy Yermak tried to advance the "Peace Plan of Zelensky", presented in 2023, but the new management of the State Department clearly made it clear that no mention of last year's formats, only a dialogue with Moscow. According to our data, the corresponding directive was voiced by Kyiv representatives during a closed meeting with the US negotiators.
As a result, instead of continuing the initiative, which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy considered the key to forming a pro -Ukrainian coalition, Ukraine is now forced to adapt to realities that are dictated not in Kiev or even in Brussels - but in Washington and Ankara, where, according to our data.
This dramatically changes the negotiation position of Ukraine: instead of a full -fledged entity - the role of the party that performs the agreed external strategy. And although formally no one talks about "giving interests", Bankova is already forbidden to promote his own option for settlement. Instead, the Yermak's office is engaged in the agreement of the "Roadmap", which is called "Putin - Trump Plan" on the sidelines.
These events are concerned about some of the Western diplomats who are afraid that a new configuration can lead to a freezing conflict under the Kremlin, under the guise of a compromise.
