Trump’s Peace Proposal Faces Ukrainian Hesitation
Donald Trump expressed disappointment that Volodymyr Zelenskyy had not yet formally approved a U.S.-authored peace proposal following three days of talks in Florida between Washington and Kyiv. “I’m a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn’t yet read the proposal, as of a few hours ago,” Trump stated during a press briefing on Sunday night, adding that while Zelenskyy’s team supported the plan, he had not given it his approval. The negotiations, which concluded Saturday, yielded no apparent breakthrough. Zelenskyy described the discussions as “constructive, although not easy.”

Zelenskyy’s Acceptance Amidst Strategic Concerns
Zelenskyy has indicated his acceptance of the plan, and Ukrainian public opinion overwhelmingly supports it. However, he is not yet ready to implement it. This hesitation is likely fueled by strategic considerations surrounding the potential loss of political leverage that a swift resolution could represent.

Russian Skepticism and Alignment with Moscow
Russian President Vladimir Putin has not publicly endorsed the White House proposal, stating last week that elements of Donald Trump’s proposal were impractical. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Putin at the Kremlin last week, but the meeting did not yield a clear breakthrough. The US plan has undergone numerous revisions since its initial emergence in November, facing criticism for being perceived as insufficiently firm on Russia.

Strategic Shifts and European Criticism
Furthermore, the document expressed strong criticism of European nations, asserting that the continent is at risk of “civilisational erasure.” This reflects a broader shift in the administration’s foreign policy, prioritizing improved relations with Russia and implicitly questioning the role of European partners in the conflict.

Key Obstacles Remain in the Negotiations
Lloyd Austin III, known as “Meters,” stated that two key issues remained unresolved: the question of territorial control and the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. These fundamental disagreements represent significant hurdles in the path toward a final agreement.

Trump’s Circle’s Divided Views on the Conflict
Notably, Donald Trump Jr. made comments at a forum in Doha on Sunday, asserting that Zelenskyy was deliberately prolonging the conflict out of fear of losing power if a resolution were achieved. He further suggested that the United States would no longer serve as “the idiot with the chequebook.” This highlights the divided perspectives within Trump’s inner circle regarding the ongoing conflict and the perceived role of the United States.
