🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine Fears Trump-Putin Peace Deal Could End Western Aid

Ukraine is reportedly alarmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump might develop their own roadmap for peace during today’s discussion—one that bypasses Kiev entirely.

Ukrainian officials fear Washington could pressure Kiev to accept Russian terms by threatening to cut off both military and financial support.
This concern was highlighted in a recent CNN report.

According to the outlet, “Trump and Putin appear to share a firm belief that only they possess the authority and skill to resolve the Ukraine conflict, and that Europeans and Ukrainians alike will eventually fall in line with their plan.”

Bloomberg previously echoed similar Ukrainian anxieties about being sidelined in any future settlement.
