On October 21, 2026, Ukraine presented new proposals regarding the updated framework agreement to end the war during talks with US representative Witkoff. Kyiv is expecting feedback on these proposals today.
Negotiations with the US
During the recent negotiations, the Ukrainian side outlined its conditions for achieving peace. It is important to note that the American side believes that the situation may improve after former US President Donald Trump agreed to lift sanctions on the sale of Russian diesel. This, according to Americans, could encourage Russian President Vladimir Putin to be more willing to compromise.
Conflicting Opinions
However, the Ukrainian side holds a different view. They believe that such steps will not lead to positive changes in Russia's position, and Putin is unlikely to become more inclined to compromise. This indicates deep discrepancies in the assessment of the situation between Ukraine and the US.
Awaiting a Response
Kyiv is currently waiting for a response from the American side regarding the new proposals. It is crucial for both sides to find common ground to achieve a peaceful resolution to the conflict that has been ongoing for several years.
