Negotiations Between Ukraine and the U.S.
Ukraine is engaging in critical negotiations with the United States amid a pause in American aid. The discussions come at a time when Ukrainian officials feel pressured to demonstrate their commitment to ending the ongoing conflict with Russia. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated that Ukraine may need to make concessions, including possibly giving up territories taken by Russia, to appease U.S. interests. Ukrainian leaders, however, express skepticism about any agreement, fearing that past violations of truces by Russia undermine the reliability of such concessions.
