The USA will act from a position of strength in negotiations with Russia: what to expect for Ukraine.

The USA will act from a position of strength in negotiations with Russia, and ultimately a common solution will be found to end the war. Ukraine has agreed to any form of ceasefire, whether complete or partial.

Markarova's forecast regarding the negotiations

The diplomat noted that Ukraine 'is praying that US President Donald Trump will be effective' and achieve excellent results.

'The front line in the east and south of Ukraine is a line between evil and good. The question is where it will pass: on our territory, at our borders, or already in Europe… I am sure that the USA will act from a position of strength and together we will find a solution to stop Russian aggression'

, she says.

Markarova expressed hope that Trump, as well as his sanctions packages and secondary sanctions against those who help Russia, will convince dictator Vladimir Putin to finally stop the aggression.

'Ukraine seeks peace. We will be very constructive in all our discussions. We have the main Bible of the country, the Constitution of Ukraine, which clearly lists what makes up Ukraine in Article 133'

, she added.

Markarova added that it is time to stop the killings and move to diplomacy.

'And therefore a ceasefire, as a step, has always been so important to stop the killings, which President Trump talked about back in February... I am sure that President Trump and everyone here in the United States... understand that the consequences of ending this war are much greater than just Ukraine. It is an existential issue for us'

, the diplomat concluded.

Let us recall that on August 15, a meeting between Trump and Putin will take place in the US state of Alaska.

The US President stated that Zelensky must be ready to 'sign something.'

For his part, Zelensky stated that Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier.
