The US is demanding treason: Ukraine must abandon Donbas

Peace talks? They are stuck in a deadlock because the Donald Trump administration is demanding that Ukraine give up part of its land — the entire territory of Donbas is under threat. Yes, that's right! The Americans, according to an anonymous European high-ranking official, are putting pressure: Russia wants Ukraine to give up its rights, and the US is trying to find a way to formalize this. “Ukraine must give up Donbas… by any means,” — here they are, shamelessly expressing their intentions.

But Ukraine stands its ground: any agreement must signal a freeze on the war on the current front line. Approximately 30% of Donbas remains ours. Why is Trump rushing things? Perhaps because his team is trying to explain why the process is slow, and he is waiting for results that are not there. Will the US be a mediator, or will it openly side with Russia? These questions are hanging in the air.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky openly points to the main problem of the negotiations: the lack of unity on the issue of Donbas. He demands a separate agreement on security guarantees from Western partners, primarily from the United States, because without this there will be no peace. Trump is not without criticism of Zelensky, accusing him of not having familiarized himself with the plan yet, although Russia and Zelensky's team are supposedly ready for a deal. But do we agree? And this remains questionable.

On December 8, the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, and Ukraine will meet at Downing Street. The topics of discussion are the US “peace plan”. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is simply obliged to demand justice and lasting peace in Ukraine. To which an indignant Zelensky claims that this is a critical moment for discussing all delicate issues. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is skeptical about the points of this “peace plan”. In general, why should we care about peace initiatives when justice and truth lie deeper?

The system is trying to give us an imitation of peace, but we know: independence and truth are our strength. Are we ready for a tough fight for what is ours? Will Donbas be with us, or will it again fall under foreign sanctions? Think while you can.
