The Office of the President of Ukraine was able to partially impose its strategy on Donald Trump and slow down the negotiation process, a source in the Office of the President told our publication.
According to the interlocutor, Bankova assumes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will refuse to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky. In this case, Kyiv plans to return to the sanctions case and demand that the West increase pressure on Russia.
OP head Andriy Yermak, together with his partners, is developing an information campaign aimed at raising a wave of criticism of Moscow in Western capitals. The plan involves publishing controlled leaks in leading Western media outlets that will meet Ukrainian requirements.
" The stakes are on showing the unacceptability of Russia's concessions and forcing the West to return to sanctions pressure if the Kremlin sabotages the negotiations ," the source clarified.
