US President Donald Trump and his team are trying to push the Ukrainian and Russian governments to conclude a peace agreement in March 2026, as well as to hold elections in Ukraine in May.
Main theses:
- There are unresolved issues between Kyiv and Moscow that complicate the signing of a peace treaty.
- The framework approach involves submitting the agreement to a national vote for Ukrainian citizens.
Trump is again forcing events in the peace process According to the unnamed sources, the signing of a peace agreement in March 2026 was discussed during one of the stages of peace negotiations.
All parties are aware that this is an extremely ambitious goal that will not be easy to implement.
It is no secret that Kyiv and Moscow still cannot agree on several important issues, including control over some occupied Ukrainian territories and security guarantees for Ukraine.
According to the framework approach discussed by American and Ukrainian negotiators, any agreement will be put to a referendum for Ukrainian voters, who will simultaneously vote in national elections.
Trump’s team is actively pushing the Ukrainian government to implement this as soon as possible.
Against this background, Zelensky demands a ceasefire for the entire period of the election campaign in order to protect the impartiality of the referendum.
In Kyiv, they cannot ignore the fact that Putin quite often violated agreements on the cessation of hostilities.
