Everyone has betrayed us: it's time to negotiate with the Russians – former Kuchma adviser
Western countries have betrayed Ukraine by failing to activate the credit line and transfer additional American air defense systems. This means there's no other option but to negotiate with Russia.
Economist and political scientist Oleh Soskin, a former adviser to President Leonid Kuchma who left Ukraine, announced this on his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"Ukraine hasn't received anything and won't receive anything. I don't think it will receive anything... and nothing will be given. And they don't have anything now; they're fully engaged in the Middle East, these systems. Well, if nothing happens, then, of course, the situation becomes more complicated for Ukraine, because they have to wage a slaughter, a meat grinder, with what they have. Meanwhile, the Muscovites seem to be doing just fine; they have everything ," he laments.
" So we can say that the situation for Ukraine is very bad, and that Trump has betrayed Ukraine. He can't stand Zelensky at all, just like Hegseth , just like this Rubio, just like Vance— they can't stand him at all.
This is the situation that's unfolding, it's very bad, and then the question arises: what to do, how to get out of this situation? There's betrayal all around: Poland has betrayed us, there's no money, the European Union has betrayed us, the United States has betrayed us. Well, everyone's a traitor, everyone!
" We need to move forward, try to reach an agreement, find a compromise for peaceful coexistence with the Russian Federation. The principles are well-known: non-interference in internal affairs—in short, the five principles. We need to create this mechanism. I don't see any other way," Soskin concluded.
