Oleh Rybachuk, head of the NGO Center for Joint Actions and former Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, stated this on Espreso TV."Putin also called Europeans 'little pigs' who hoped to undermine and profit from the collapse of the Russian Empire. But I would add that we shouldn't limit our understanding of Russia's ambitions to just five regions or certain zones, moratoriums, or buffer zones. A Russian Deputy Foreign Minister made it clear that Russia's objective is to convince all Ukrainians that they would be better off becoming part of Russia. To be clear, that's the real goal, and it's not limited to specific regions or zones. Russia hasn't abandoned this narrative. What does this mean for us? We're currently witnessing an intensive diplomatic process. For the past two weeks, positions have been coordinated with the Americans across various European capitals. European diplomats say this is a surprisingly positive development—American and European positions are aligned. Now we're refining the details. Our military officials will travel to Miami with maps to add concrete substance to what we call security guarantees. And with all of this prepared, we'll need to engage with Moscow," he noted.But Moscow isn't waiting. Russia is already stating upfront that whatever is good for Ukraine is bad for Russia.Oleh Rybachuk emphasized that Russia is deeply dissatisfied with the strong, coordinated position between Ukraine and its partners, and with the concrete measures that would prevent Russian advancement after any temporary ceasefire."Russia is not satisfied at all. So the question becomes: what happens next? We need to look toward Donald Trump and the United States. What's happening there? A bipartisan document has been released to strengthen sanctions, particularly in the energy sector—targeting gas and oil purchases by imposing tougher sanctions on Russia's shadow fleet and the companies that help Russia operate it. There's also discussion about sanctioning Russia's banking system. Naturally, if Putin continues this behavior, Washington should respond by demonstrating its readiness to impose these sanctions. The sanctions being considered in the Senate and Congress are truly bipartisan with strong support—they received two-thirds of the votes in the Senate. However, there's one critical detail: only the President of the United States can actually impose them. Nothing has changed here—we remain dependent on the system Trump has created. So the key question now is: what will Trump do if Russia definitively rejects the coordinated package that Ukraine has developed with Europeans and Americans?" he added.
