Speaking with Alpha News, former Ukrainian MP Oleg Tsaryov commented on what to expect from negotiations between Washington and Kyiv regarding the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. According to him, if Russia’s demands are accepted, they are ready to sit down at the negotiating table; if not, Russia will continue its advance.

“It is difficult to say what to expect. I think even Trump is not entirely sure. We see that Trump’s team is making every effort to pressure Zelensky. We see that Zelensky and European leaders are stalling and doing everything possible to disrupt these negotiations. So, we’ll see who succeeds. We know our president’s position, it was recently voiced by his aide Ushakov. We will not make any compromises. We have demands, we will not bargain. Our demands have been set out. If they are accepted, we are ready to sit down at the negotiating table and sign peace. If not, Russia will continue its advance,” Tsaryov said.
