Diplomat Oleh Shamshur expressed this opinion on Espreso TV."Donald Trump before the elections, during the elections, and now continues to talk about the need to end the war. It's clear that he wants to end this war at any cost, including at the expense of Ukraine's interests. He doesn't see Ukraine as a strategically important country for the U.S. He's also trying to leave the Europeans outside the negotiating room so they can't significantly influence this process," Shamshur explained.The diplomat emphasized that Trump's peace plan was formed precisely on his desire to do business with Russia."Trump has a strong desire to build a common future with the Russians. Particularly in economic terms and in changing the rules of the game in world politics. All of this explains the emergence of the peace plan in the form we've all seen it and everything else. Someone from America wrote very correctly that Trump's attitude toward Russia is that of a businessman. He still lives in the categories of the 1980s and 90s, when some Western businessmen believed that Russia was a great mine full of gold, money, and resources that could be seized," he added.U.S. President Donald Trump stated on December 15 that peace for Ukraine is "closer than ever," assuring that they are working to achieve this.
