Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that peace in Ukraine could be achieved in a few weeks, following discussions with European allies. This hope comes despite Russia's warnings to harden its negotiating position, after accusing Ukraine of drone attacks on President Putin's residence, an accusation denied by Kiev. Tusk emphasized that, although there are reasons for optimism, it is not a certainty. He mentioned that by January, European leaders need to convene to discuss Ukraine's future.
Tusk highlighted security guarantees from the U.S. as a reason for hope, but warned that Ukraine will have to make territorial compromises. The American president stated that a peace agreement is close, but unresolved issues remain, such as control over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the Donbas region. Russia demands the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donbas, while Ukraine wants a ceasefire along the current front line. Zelensky is seeking security guarantees similar to those of NATO and a referendum for any peace agreement, which would require a 60-day preparation, while Russia rejects the idea of a ceasefire.
