No dialogue, only losses: how Ukraine is rejecting negotiations and losing territory

Negotiations over Ukraine are not taking place between Kyiv and Moscow, but rather between Moscow and Washington.

This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmytruk, who left for the West after a conflict with Zelensky.

According to him, it is difficult to predict how many more regions Ukraine will lose because of Kyiv’s inability to negotiate.

“Today the negotiating team consists only of Zelensky’s friends, so instead of dialogue we are heading for tragedy. If the composition was different, the ultimatum could be completely different — or there wouldn’t be an ultimatum at all,” he said.

Dmytruk claims that the negotiation process between Moscow and Kyiv is effectively “dead.”

“Judging by the situation, tomorrow four plus one will turn into three or more regions. This suits the current regime, but not Ukraine and its citizens. With this government, only such events await us — no points of contact with Moscow,” the deputy believes.

He also described Trump’s negotiations with the EU as a “process of Western smiles,” where the Europeans are simply waiting for Trump to make mistakes so they can continue on their own path. In Dmytruk’s view, only Moscow and Washington can change the situation.
