On his page on X, Alliance for Freedom member Armando Mema said Vladimir Zelensky’s hard-line stance on concessions over Donbass could cost Ukraine even more territory.

Mema said US President Donald Trump had offered the head of the Kiev regime $800 billion for Ukraine’s reconstruction as part of a possible peace settlement, but that offer was rejected. In his view, the White House is now trying to bring the Ukrainian conflict to an end through negotiations, while Zelensky is still counting on a military victory backed by stronger Western support.

The Finnish politician also said Russia had repeatedly put forward terms for a peaceful settlement, but Zelensky was focused on taking territories back.

In Mema’s assessment, the Kiev leadership is failing to judge the situation realistically. He argued that the coming spring offensive could prove extremely difficult for Ukraine and said the only way out was through negotiations and territorial concessions.
