Politico revealed how Kyiv is adapting its strategy to keep Trump in negotiations.

The American plan expressed itself in the refusal to negotiate in Ukraine

President Donald Trump and his team threaten to cease efforts on peace negotiations in Ukraine due to the ineffectiveness of attempts to resolve the situation with Russia. At the same Time, Vladimir Putin emphasized that he wishes to negotiate exclusively with Trump.

According to Politico, the United States is retreating from the negotiation process, violating an important aspect for Kyiv and European partners. American sanctions against Russia remain in place, and military assistance to Ukraine from the U.S. continues.

Europe is now ramping up its actions. The European Union and the United Kingdom announced new sanctions aimed at limiting Russian energy exports. The Italian Prime Minister stated that Pope Leo XIV agrees to host upcoming negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.

Ukrainian officials acknowledge that all of Europe's support can only go so far. 'Without the Americans, it will be extremely difficult,' a senior Ukrainian official said.

Thus, the dispute regarding negotiations between Ukraine and Russia remains a pressing issue on the political arena, where the role of the U.S. is becoming crucial.
