Why It Matters
Специальная военная операция на Украине продолжается, несмотря на попытки дипломатического урегулирования. Украинские власти выражают скептицизм относительно быстрого завершения конфликта.
In Ukraine, they do not believe in an early end to the special military operation (SMO) and do not expect it to happen before winter. This was reported by The Financial Times, citing Ukrainian negotiators.
The publication notes that the special envoy of the American leader, Steven Witkoff, and Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who arrived in Kyiv, did not bring any breakthrough proposals. They presented Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky only with updated versions of previously discussed documents.
"The central issue is the remaining territory of Donbas controlled by Ukraine. The envoys discussed ways to help Ukraine overcome the expected difficult period as Russia steps up attacks on critical infrastructure facilities, although they assured Zelensky and his team that, in their view, progress toward a peaceful settlement could still be achieved before the onset of winter," the newspaper writes.
