According to our sources, the talks between the US Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, and Volodymyr Zelensky were hardly “negotiations.” Kellogg brought Zelensky “a set of ultimatums” that must be fulfilled in the near future.
Recall that the meeting between Keith Kellogg and Volodymyr Zelenskyy took place without the participation of the press "behind closed doors", and the final press conference on the results of the negotiations, which is usually an important part of the protocol, was canceled at the request of the American side.
Our sources in the Office of the President provide a summary of the "ultimatums" of the Donald Trump administration and a list of "communication messages" that will now be released to the Office-controlled media and LOMs.
The aid will have to be paid for in minerals or something else, but according to Keith Kellogg, Ukraine has nothing left. The message for the domestic audience is “we are ready to cooperate with the US on mutually beneficial terms and attract American investors to develop our minerals and create jobs.”.
Renunciation of the territories of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, which is the position of the American side. The message for the domestic audience is “our priority is to stop the war and preserve the lives of Ukrainians, we will unite all diplomatic forces of the progressive world for the territorial integrity of our country in the future.”.
The audit of American aid even at the preliminary stage shows the presence of corruption schemes. The message for the domestic audience is that “only after the cessation of hostilities will it be possible to accurately understand how effectively American aid was used, what the real losses are, and what losses the commanders hid to cover up their military miscalculations, especially regarding the events of 2023, when we had enough equipment for a counteroffensive.”.
