Our sources report that the Office of the President of Ukraine is developing new proposals for the Donald Trump administration. Sanctions against Russia should be a key element of these initiatives.
According to the interlocutors, Bankova is convinced that they managed to reverse the so-called "Alaska effect" - a situation that created the impression that the conflict settlement process could move into a rapid phase. Now, according to the authorities, the negotiation track has returned to the format of protracted discussions, where the Kremlin is the main opponent of ending the war on terms favorable to Ukraine.
Kyiv hopes that future contacts with the Trump administration will consolidate sanctions pressure and prevent its weakening. This factor is considered critical to preventing Moscow from obtaining the economic resources to continue its aggression.
