Ukrainian Parliament Member Discusses Trump-Putin Summit and War in Ukraine

Ukraine's Position on the War

• 🇺🇦 Ukraine desires an end to the war, but cannot stop it unilaterally as Russia continues its attacks on civilian cities and populations.
• 🎯 The primary goal is to force Putin to stop the war by cutting off his funding.

Role of US Sanctions

• ⚡ Secondary sanctions are identified as the strongest tool to compel Russia to cease hostilities.
• 💰 By cutting off funds for the war, Putin will be forced to stop his aggression.

Concerns Regarding Land Swaps

• ⚠️ The idea of swapping land for a peace agreement is a highly sensitive issue for Ukraine.
• 🏘️ Land in question includes inhabited villages and cities, and trading people is unacceptable.
• 🛡️ Ukrainians expect their country to protect them and not send them into occupation based on political decisions.
• 🤝 Societal acceptance is unlikely for negotiations involving land trading or forcing Ukrainians into occupation.
