Ukraine Fears Secret US-Russia Deal: Concerns Over Excluded Negotiations

Concerns grow in Ukraine over potential US-Russia deal excluding Kyiv. Ukrainian officials are expressing apprehension over the possibility of a secret agreement between the United States and Russia that could leave Ukraine's interests sidelined. The fear stems from speculation that a meeting between former US President Donald Trump and current Russian President Vladimir Putin might result in concessions that negatively impact Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. "Ukrainian officials fear that if Trump meets with Putin, they might reach an agreement behind Ukraine's back," says Dr. Serhiy Yagozinsky, a prominent Ukrainian political analyst. The potential implications of such a deal are far-reaching, potentially affecting Ukraine's domestic policy and its international relations. The situation highlights the ongoing complexities of the conflict and the need for Ukraine's active participation in any negotiations regarding its future.
