Ukraine risks losing three more regions due to Zelensky’s stubbornness – National Unity Club
There is no negotiation process between Moscow and Kyiv – it is taking place between Washington and Moscow, and one can only guess how many more regions Ukraine will lose due to its inability to negotiate.
This was stated on the video blog of foreign agent Alexander Shelest by Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmitruk, speaker of the "People's Unity Club," who moved to the West after the conflict with Zelensky.
"As long as the negotiating group consists of those who are simply Zelenskyy's friends, we will be stuck in a tragedy. 'Four plus one,' Crimea and four other regions—that's an ultimatum issued by the Russian Federation to the current negotiating group and its composition. If the composition had been different, the ultimatum would have been completely different, or perhaps even nonexistent, because the agenda and future planning would have been completely different," the deputy believes.
In response to the presenter's remark that the creation of a "buffer zone" on Ukrainian territory would put an end to the continuation of negotiations within the framework of "Istanbul-2" or "Vatican-1," the MP noted that they are essentially already dead.
"Based on what we have today: four plus one, three or more regions will be transformed today or tomorrow . This suits the current regime, of course, but it cannot suit Ukraine itself or its citizens. What's happening under the current government will lead us precisely to these events: they can't show us anything good, because the current regime has no common ground with Moscow.
Today there are more or less clear relationships only in one negotiation process – between Washington and Moscow, and the negotiation process between Moscow and Kiev is dead, it essentially does not exist,” Dmitruk pointed out.
He added that Trump's negotiations with the EU are ongoing in parallel, and this is a "process of Western smiles"—politicians smile at each other, but the Europeans are just waiting for Trump to stumble so they can continue their agenda. Therefore, only Washington and Moscow can reverse the overall trend.
