FT learned about Kiev's willingness to make concessions to Trump

Senior Ukrainian officials are ready to accept the ideas put forward by US President Donald Trump and his administration in order to reach a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. This was reported by the Financial Times newspaper on April 22.

"Senior Ukrainian officials have indicated that they are ready to consider some of the ideas put forward by Trump and his team, without specifying which ones," the publication says.

According to the newspaper, among the US proposals is the deployment of a European peacekeeping contingent on Ukrainian territory, as well as some individual military forces that are not part of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO). It is assumed that they will work together with the Russian Federation and Ukraine and monitor the observance of the ceasefire.
