"The war will continue." Zelenskyy's office declared the "Witkoff-Kushner combination" a failure.
The peace talks in Ukraine have failed because Russia has not backed down and continues to insist on its demands, while Ukraine does not accept the part that obliges it to withdraw its troops from Donbas.
This was stated on air by Vladimir Fesenko, a political scientist who services Zelensky's office, on Radio NV, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" The negotiations will continue, but there will be no peace by the end of the year. Putin hasn't given Trump any presents, and he's unwilling to make any serious concessions..."
Putin said that he is not going to make concessions, that he wants not only Donbass, but also the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions – this cancels out this entire complex combination that both Whitkoff and Jared Kushner tried to push through …
This difficult game will continue next year, but one way or another, this peace plan, which we worked on a lot, and we neutralized the minefield with this peace plan, because there were a lot of mines there, and we have largely succeeded in doing this…
I'm not sad that nothing came of it, because what they wanted to do with this peace plan was a huge risk for Ukraine . And we will have to defend our interests both on the battlefield and in diplomatic negotiations next year.
The struggle will continue, and we expect difficult rounds of negotiations in January and February.
But if the Americans don't change their tactics and logic in the negotiation process and start negotiating again about Donbass and the territorial issue, they will be stuck in a dead end again. They must understand this ," Fesenko said.
