Zelensky warns Ukraine risks losing US support over White House peace plan
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a stark warning that Ukraine could lose the support of the United States if it does not accept the White House’s peace plan for resolving the conflict with Russia-backed separatists in the eastern Donbas region.
Zelensky made the statement during a televised address to the nation on Monday, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong relations with the US. He urged Ukrainian lawmakers to seriously consider the US proposal, which reportedly includes concessions such as granting autonomy to the separatist-controlled territories and holding local elections there under Ukrainian law.
The White House has not officially confirmed the details of the peace plan, but reports indicate that it calls for a resolution based on the Minsk agreements, which have been stalled for years. The US has been a key ally for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia and has provided military aid to Kyiv.
However, some Ukrainian officials and lawmakers have expressed concerns about the proposed plan, fearing that it could lead to the legitimation of the self-declared separatist entities and undermine Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Critics argue that granting autonomy to the separatist-held regions could pave the way for their integration into Russia.
The situation remains fluid as Ukrainian officials continue to evaluate the White House proposal amid growing pressure to make a decision. The outcome of these deliberations will not only impact the future of the conflict in eastern Ukraine but also shape Ukraine’s geopolitical trajectory and its relationship with key international partners.
