Ukraine has a trump card to get Donald Trump to join it in negotiations to end the war with Russia. This trump card is in the so-called victory plan, which Volodymyr Zelensky previously gave to the Allies. According to “Welt”, this point has been kept secret from the public until now.
The publication notes that there is great concern in Kyiv about the prospects for Trump’s as yet undisclosed strategy to end the war. President Volodymyr Zelensky is currently doing everything possible to improve the situation in Ukraine and prevent unwanted solutions from being imposed on Kyiv. Citing sources in the circles of the Ukrainian government, “Welt” writes that Kyiv is currently trying to get to Trump as soon as possible.
It is emphasized in particular that Zelenskiy and Trump already discussed the part of the influence plan that was not published before at the meeting in New York in September. This clause provides that Trump may in the future have the right to decide who will be allowed to invest in Ukraine. “Everyone will be able to invest, but not China,” as the publication describes the idea. “Welt” emphasizes that such an approach is logical to prevent Beijing from future plans regarding Ukraine and prevent access to valuable resources.
According to unofficial information, Zelenskiy was advised to emphasize the issue of China in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war in the talks with Trump. That is why Ukraine has offered its western partners priority access to its natural resources.
The proposal to replace American troops in Europe with Ukrainian troops was also a point to please Trump. The costs related to the maintenance of American troops in Europe were already considered a burden by Trump during his first presidency.
Whether the solution to end the war is favorable or unfavorable to Ukraine, Zelenskiy will have to organize presidential elections, which have been postponed since May this year. A decisive factor in his political future will be whether the agreement reached is better than the draft peace agreement negotiated in Istanbul in April 2022.
Draft Istanbul Peace Treaty
As previously reported by “Unian:” in June this year, “The New York Times” published the full text of the draft peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, dated April 15, 2022. This document was agreed in general between the two sides, but two versions were offered for some points that were not agreed with the other party.
At that time, it was proposed for a later time to resolve the issue of the status of Crimea. Ukraine would be banned from joining NATO, and its armed forces would have to be reduced to 100 thousand people.
Also, Russia asked to establish the Russian language as the state language and lift the sanctions against it. However, Ukraine managed to include a clause about Western aid in the document in the event of a new Russian invasion, but Moscow wanted veto rights for such aid.
