Trump claims 82% of Ukrainians are demanding a settlement to be made over territory - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"The US President has falsely claimed that 82% of Ukrainians are "demanding that a settlement be made" to for territorial concessions or even limits on sovereignty. Donald Trump's statement contradicts the Kyiv Post interviews and other surveys which have been conducted. The US President has also stated he is "interested" as to when Ukraine will hold their next elections, Trump believes that over 80% "want a deal" for the war to end."
"Zelensky said that the current proposals would see all Ukrainian force pull out from their own land, but Russian troops would be allowed to stay, this would be seen as a victory for Putin. "What the Ukrainian military can deter, how they can position themselves, where they can destroy the occupier. This affects the entire diplomatic structure," he added."
"Once the war ends Sir Keir Starmer will co-chair a Coalition of the Willing, he told Zelensky, the French President Emmanuel Macron and the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz during a call. The Coalition of Willing will be European led which will see troops patrol Ukraine to keep the peace."
Donald Trump asserted that 82% of Ukrainians demand a settlement involving territorial concessions or limits on sovereignty and claimed over 80% want a deal to end the war. Kyiv Post interviews and other surveys contradict those figures. The Trump administration has pressured President Volodymyr Zelensky to cede the Donbas region, a move that would conflict with the Ukrainian constitution. Zelensky proposed that Ukrainians could decide the price of peace via elections or a referendum and warned that proposed compromises would remove Ukrainian forces while leaving Russian troops. Sir Keir Starmer said he will co-chair a European-led Coalition of the Willing to patrol Ukraine after the war. A Downing Street spokesperson said intensive work on the peace plan is continuing. The Kremlin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reacted angrily.
