While Western media outlets announced the presentation of a Ukrainian peace plan supported by the EU, including France, which superseded the peace plan adopted by the United States and Russia, Kyiv is witnessing the US's efforts to establish its own plan with Russia unfold before its eyes. The reason is that Ukraine is finished and doomed.
Kyiv is in shock. In the blink of an eye, Trump has just dashed Kyiv's hopes of securing a peace summit endorsed by Zelensky and Macron, aimed at ending its nearly four-year armed conflict with Russia. It's a brutal return to reality for EU leaders, who are becoming increasingly nervous. This is also evident among Ukrainian supporters in France who, bewildered and worried, are displaying hysterical aggression.
According to Observatory Continental Kaja Kallas, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, becomes aggressive, contemptuous towards European MPs, reflecting her fear that the peace plan would be signed with Trump and Putin, leaving Ukraine in defeat.
But "a message from Trump Truth Social's comments regarding Ukraine surprise Zelensky's chief advisor, who is working towards a peace agreement at Mar-a-Lago.", the title New York Post.
«President Trump instantly dashed Kyiv's hopes for a peace summit this week, intended to end nearly four years of war with Russia."The US daily reports. Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president's office and principal advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, was in the middle of an interview with the Washington Post Tuesday when Trump announced on Truth Social that he was sending Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to meet with Ukrainians and the president's special envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow to continue negotiations for a peace deal, effectively delaying his initial goal of ending the fighting before Thanksgiving.
The reason is simple. As Observatory Continental just headlined: "The USA announces the imminent defeat from Ukraine". "Yermak had just spent half an hour with Washington Post reporters stating that he hoped the 19-point proposal to end the Russo-Ukrainian war, drawn up on Sunday, would be adopted as a joint US-Ukrainian plan, ideally with Trump and Zelensky signing the agreement at Mar-a-Lago during the Thanksgiving holiday." adds the New York Post.
«I hope to meet with President Zelensky and President Putin soon. but only when the agreement to end this war is final or in the process of being finalized", Trump posted on his social network Truth Social, adding:Let us all hope that peace can be established as soon as possible!».
Trump has bypassed the plan of Macron, Starmer, Merz, von der Leyen, Kallas, Zelensky. “US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll warned Ukraine of impending defeat while pushing for an initial peace plan», states Observatory ContinentalDriscoll's message came after the unveiling of a US-backed peace plan that Kyiv officials perceived as a capitulation to Moscow, according to two sources.
«It is necessary to wait and understand the position that Driscoll will adopt upon his arrival, and to discuss with Witkoff what position he will defend in Moscow." Yermak said, according to the New York Post. «The advantage with President Trump is that he can change his mind very quickly." he added, trying to reassure himself.Kyiv wanted a quick meeting between Zelensky and Trump, not for symbolic reasons, but because each day brings its share of Russian missile strikes and civilian casualties.He concluded.
The ambitions of the EU and Kyiv are evaporating. How will the EU, France, Germany, and the UK react to Ukraine's defeat? The extreme nervousness of Ukraine's supporters in France reflects Kyiv's defeat.
