Summary of "Закулісся мирного плану від США. Роль України і ЄС. Дмитро Кулеба і Світлана Павелецька"
Behind-the-Scenes of the Proposed Peace Plan
The video explores the complex dynamics surrounding a proposed peace plan involving the United States, Ukraine, and Russia. It focuses on Ukraine’s role and the European Union’s involvement in the negotiation process.
Initial Reactions and Negotiations
- A leaked 28-point peace plan initially caused shock and concern in Ukraine, recalling tense moments in Ukraine-US relations, such as the December 2023 meeting between Presidents Zelensky and Trump.
- Subsequent negotiations between Ukrainian and American delegations, including a recent meeting in Geneva, reduced the plan to 19 points.
- These negotiations were described as constructive, with mutual appreciation expressed by both sides.
Internal US Political Dynamics
The discussion highlights divisions within the US political sphere regarding Ukraine:
- The original 28-point plan was reportedly influenced by figures close to former President Trump, including Vice President J.D. Vance, Stephen Witkoff, and Jared Kushner.
- Kirill Dmitriev, a Kyiv native linked to Russian interests, was also involved.
- Senator Marco Rubio emerged as a key pro-Ukraine advocate, helping to reconcile differing US positions.
- Understanding this internal US dynamic is crucial for grasping the negotiation process.
Challenges with Russia
- The biggest challenge remains convincing Russia to accept any agreement.
- Rumors suggest Ukraine successfully resisted Russian demands such as:
- A NATO non-membership clause
- Recognition of Russian language status
- Acceptance of occupied territories
- However, the final document remains unseen, leaving many details uncertain.
As long as Ukraine and the EU stand united and support each other, no deal between Trump and Putin alone can be imposed on Ukraine or Europe.
Role of Key Figures
- Donald Trump is portrayed pragmatically, prioritizing quick results over long-term consequences and pushing his team to produce an agreement.
- Vladimir Putin faces a choice:
- Reject the deal and continue the war, or
- Accept a “quasi-Ukrainian” compromise that could pressure Ukraine into difficult concessions, potentially driving a wedge between Ukraine, the US, and Europe.
Caution Against Panic
The presenters urge calm and emphasize Ukraine’s resilience and internal strength:
- There are no objective reasons yet to end the war, as Putin believes he can achieve military goals.
- Ukraine remains determined to fight.
- Only diplomatic and subjective factors might lead to a ceasefire, but these are not yet prominent.
Conclusion and Outlook
- This is the first serious attempt at a peace agreement since Trump’s return to the White House.
- A ceasefire or end to the war is not imminent.
- The focus should remain on internal reforms in Ukraine, including:
- Fighting corruption
- Improving governance
- Strengthening the state
- These efforts are essential to resist external pressures.
- The presenters express cautious optimism and stress the importance of unity between Ukraine and the EU.
