Deepstate, a monitoring group associated with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine points out that Moscow’s forces ventured into the eastern part of the city and are entrenched.

The Ukrainian delegation has managed to lower the tension with the Trump administration and the return of the military supply and the exchange of intelligence. Demonstrating, in addition, its commitment to the end of the war, an issue that the White House tenant had put doubts in recent weeks. But there are still many doubts to clear.

Ukrainians distrust Russia

From Ukraine, several readings of what happened in Yeda are made and the distrust of Kremlin and the United States position prevails. «We are moderately optimistic. Ukraine has never been a problem and we have always wanted peace. We have seen how the United States presses Ukraine; Now we will see how he behaves with Russia, ”he said on his social networks Kira RudikLeader of the opposition party sweets.

The member of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Andrii Kalenkohe points out that “the entire narrative of Russian propaganda to the West is now built around the thesis” Ukraine does not want peace. ” However, the deal with Washington will demonstrate that “if they win time or do not accept the fire, it will finally become an axiom for all that Russia was, is and remains the main criminal,” Kovalenko added.

I have no hope that this will happen ».

The civil part of society has similar sensations. «Unfortunately, I don’t think Russia accepts. Maybe it’s because I often believed and now I lost my faith. For me it is a difficult moral and psychological issue. I want to believe that in my country there will be peace and order. But it seems that an agreement will not be reached, ”he counts for this newspaper Anna Kabiuka businesswoman from Odesa.
