The agreement to stop bombing Ukraine's energy sector will be a test of the success of the negotiations in the United Arab Emirates – this will show whether the process has any prospects, while bilateral negotiations with Russia are a trap. This was emphasised by the Director of the Kyiv Security Forum, diplomat Danylo Lubkivsky, on Slawa TV, commenting on the trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine, the United States and Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is not ready to conclude a real peace agreement with Ukraine – he is conducting fictitious negotiations to stall for time. This was emphasised by the Chairman of the Kyiv Security Forum, Prime Minister of Ukraine in 2014-2016, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, commenting on the upcoming trilateral meeting between representatives of the United States, Ukraine and Russia in the United Arab Emirates (expected on 23-24 January – ed.).

During his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, US President Donald Trump positioned the war in Ukraine as an EU issue, but the American administration must realise that ending the war is in the interests of their national security.

US President Donald Trump could have received the Nobel Peace Prize last year if Putin had not disrupted the agreement to end the war against Ukraine. This was emphasised by the Chairman of the Kyiv Security Forum, Prime Minister of Ukraine in 2014-2016, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, during an interview with journalist Vitaliy Portnikov.

The midterm elections to the US Congress in November 2026 could change the diplomatic situation, with Ukraine having to convince the Americans to fight a common enemy. This was emphasised by the Director of the Kyiv Security Forum, diplomat Danylo Lubkivsky, live on Suspilne.
