In recent statements, the head of state conditioned any progress on a ceasefire of at least 60 days. Key points of Kyiv's position include: a national referendum: Zelensky is willing to submit a 20-point peace plan to a popular vote, especially if the agreement requires 'very difficult' decisions on territorial issues. territorial strategy: the Ukrainian leader maintains his intention to negotiate a better geographical position before signing any definitive ceasefire. sabotage accusation: while Russia accuses the European Union of trying to sabotage the dialogue, Kyiv is seeking security guarantees that go beyond a mere cessation of hostilities. A scenario of maximum tension The distance between the drafts of Moscow, Washington, and Kyiv suggests that while dialogue is open, consensus is fragile. 'That day will remain in our memory as a milestone where we really got closer to a solution,' stated the diplomat. However, he warned that the 'final push' to seal the peace does not depend on Russia, but on the 'political will' of the Ukrainian counterpart, learned the Argentine News Agency. The Russian official also criticized the imposition of external deadlines, alluding to the statements of Matthew Whitaker (U.S. representative to NATO), who suggested a resolution within a 90-day margin. While the Russia-U.S. axis seems to be advancing on certain technical terms, Kyiv's insistence on consulting its population and improving its territorial positions adds a layer of complexity that stretches diplomatic timelines. The world watches with attention whether the 'milestone' of December 25th will become the foundation of a treaty or a missed opportunity amidst accusations of sabotage and strategic disagreements.
