“Dmytro Kuleba believes that Trump will not be able to reach a peace agreement on the war in Ukraine. According to him, Putin is not ready for a peace agreement, and the Russians may find themselves near the Dnipro and Poltava.”, — write on: unn.ua
During the election campaign, Donald Trump vowed to end the war in Ukraine and, characteristically, boasted that he could do it in one day.
However, Kuleba, who left his post in September, said in an interview that he did not believe that Putin would agree to this. “Putin still believes that he can destroy Ukrainian statehood and crush Ukraine as an independent democracy, and believes that he is one step away from making the West look weak,” he said.
“Ukraine is Putin’s personal obsession, but crushing Ukraine is also a means of achieving his great goal – to show the whole world that the West is not capable of defending itself or what it stands for,” Kuleba added.

Kuleba also questioned the resolve of Ukraine’s Western partners – particularly Germany, which is facing early elections – and lamented that while Russia managed to find allies like North Korea to send troops, Kyiv’s allies were inconsistent and unreliable in terms of weapon support.
“People in Europe may be angry with me, but I have said and will continue to say that the truth is that today Russia has a friend who is ready to send his soldiers to die for Russia’s war,” he said, while Ukraine’s friends do not even want to send the weapon she needs.
One of Kuleba’s biggest fears is that Trump will refuse to supply arms and ammunition to Ukraine. To make her more compliant if his peace proposal fails. If this happens, Kuleba warns, Kyiv’s prospects will be “deplorable”.
“The front line in Donbas will collapse, and the Russians will find themselves at the gates of the Dnipro, Poltava and Zaporizhzhia. This will be the most dangerous moment for Ukraine in this war,” he warned.
Last week, Russia struck the Dnieper with a new multi-warhead ballistic missile for the first time since the war and has since threatened to launch more. Russia also deployed about 10,000 North Korean servicemen in the Kursk region.

In response to this, and only after several months of lobbying by Ukrainians, President Joe Biden gave permission to Kyiv to use American-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets on Russian territory.
Kuleba said he expects the escalation to continue but does not think it will get out of hand, noting that all sides are clearly checking their actions and signaling their intentions to reduce the likelihood of a miscalculation that could lead to a catastrophic outcome.
