Zelensky warns Ukraine risks losing US support over White House peace plan
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern that his country risks losing vital support from the United States if it does not engage constructively with a new peace plan proposed by the White House. The plan, intended to outline steps toward ending the ongoing conflict with Russia, has been described by Zelensky as requiring careful consideration to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has commented on the proposal, saying it could serve as a “basis” for peace negotiations. However, he simultaneously warned that Russia remains prepared to continue fighting if necessary, highlighting the ongoing tension and uncertainty surrounding diplomatic efforts.
The White House plan reportedly addresses key issues including territorial arrangements, security guarantees, and mechanisms for monitoring compliance. Zelensky’s caution reflects concerns that rejecting or mishandling the plan could jeopardize continued military and economic assistance from the US, which has been crucial for Ukraine’s defense.
Analysts say the situation underscores the delicate balance Ukraine must maintain in pursuing peace while safeguarding its national interests. Both domestic political pressures and international alliances will play a role in shaping Kyiv’s response to the proposal.
