Ukraine could be encouraged to negotiate with Russia in a few months

Kiev – United States (USA) officials are beginning to admit that Ukraine could be compromised by Russia and they may eventually have to give up the territory it considers.

The Washington Post reported this on Tuesday (26/11/2024), citing anonymous sources.

“With Donald Trump returning to the White House in January and Kiev’s forces suffering heavy losses on battlefields as Russia reclaims occupied territory in the Kursk Region , Ukraine may be at its weakest in almost three years,” the newspaper report said.

“Many White House officials believe that within months, Ukraine could be pushed into negotiations with Russia and they could be forced to end territory,” said the report.

“A quiet recognition that Kiev may have to cede territory is also spreading among its supporters in Europe,” the Post said.

US President Joe Biden’s recent decision to allow Ukraine to use US-supplied ATACMS missiles to penetrate deep into Russian territory, as well as move it to mine- to give Kiev forbidden land, hoping that it would give the country “the strongest level possible.” hand” before any possible negotiations with Moscow after Trump takes office in January.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected any suggestion of territorial concessions to Russia.

“However, Biden officials are largely resigned to the fact that Trump will not provide more aid to Ukraine,” the report said.

According to the newspaper, many of Ukraine’s European allies are “upset” that Washington is taking so long to provide the country with the latest capabilities and that this should happen when the country’s military situation is -Ukraine “much stronger.”

However, officials told the newspaper that Biden’s decision was “driven by changing battle conditions” and despite pressure from Kiev, he had not authorized some weapons to used only when “circumstances warranted” their use.
