Trump Allies’ Secret Talks with Ukrainian Opponents Spark Outrage
Back-channel discussions propose holding Ukrainian presidential elections following a temporary ceasefire, but before comprehensive peace talks. This strategy, also favored by the Kremlin, is opposed by several prominent Ukrainian figures, including Tymoshenko and Poroshenko, despite their reported engagement with Trump’s associates. While both Tymoshenko and Poroshenko deny seeking to undermine Zelenskyy, claiming their efforts focus on securing a just peace and maintaining bipartisan US support, their actions have raised concerns. These concerns center on the possibility of facilitating concessions Zelenskyy opposes.
