During the talks in London this week, US officials confirmed Donald Trump’s position not to support Ukraine’s membership in NATO, but they stressed that it would not oblige future US presidents opposed.
This is stated in the publication of The New York Times, published on April 25.
“The next US administration may decide to allow Ukraine to join NATO, ”American officials said.
According to US representatives, they understand that Ukraine will not agree to no restrictions that would make it impossible for its future membership in NATO.

According to NYT, the White House also sided with Kiev on the issue of the Ukrainian army. At the same time, the Kremlin demanded that “The largest and most agitated in the battles of the Army of Europe ”has undergone strict restrictions on numbers and opportunities. However, Trump administration representatives assured Ukrainians that they would not support such restrictions.
Despite the fact that Trump and the US Vice president, Ji Di Vance, expressed their willingness to recognize the Russian occupation of Crimea, Americans have repeatedly assured Ukrainians that they would not demand from Kiev to do the same, and also do not expect that Europeans would follow American example.

NYT believes that despite Trump’s statement that the US is quite close to the agreement, the real prospects of peace remain far. All parties agree that, before any serious peace talks, Russia and Ukraine must stop the fighting, but it is not possible to reach ceasefire at this time.
On April 16, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that Ukraine’s course remains unchanged and irreversible, but this will not become part of a possible peace agreement with Russia.
The document published by Reuters on April 25, which presents proposals for the peace plan of Ukraine and the EU, said the consent to the gradual weakening of sanctions on the Russian Federation after reaching a sustainable peace.

- return of a small part of the Kharkiv region occupied by Russian invaders;
- unobstructed passage by the Dnieper River, which runs along the front line in the south of Ukraine;
- Compensation and recovery assistance – although the document does not specify where the funding will come from.
