Peace negotiations to bring an end to Russia’s war against Ukraine remain a distant prospect, and solidarity between Ukraine and its Western partners is essential.

The comment was made by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk via X on December 29.

Tusk said that talks held overnight with European leaders underscored the risk that Ukraine and the West could lose their position if Russia manages to drive a wedge between them and set the terms of a peace settlement.

“A success is the declaration of US participation in security guarantees. But we are still far from the final talks,” the prime minister said.

Po nocnych rozmowach z liderami państw europejskich pewne jest jedno: Zachód i Ukraina przegrają tę konfrontację, jeśli Rosja zdoła nas podzielić i podyktować warunki pokoju. Sukcesem jest deklaracja udziału USA w gwarancjach bezpieczeństwa. Ale do finału rozmów wciąż daleko.

Just a day earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that a proposed 20-point peace plan is “90% agreed” after senior-level discussions with US President Donald Trump, while underscoring that Ukraine’s stance on territorial integrity remains firm. He described the territory as “the land of our nation” and cautioned that any referendum on the matter cannot be hurried or held amid ongoing hostilities.

Following talks at Mar-a-Lago, Zelenskyy said Ukrainian and American negotiating teams had reviewed “all aspects of the peace framework” and found common ground on most provisions of the 20-point proposal. He made the remarks during a joint press conference with Trump on December 29.

Previously, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he raised the idea of providing Ukraine with US security guarantees lasting 30 to 50 years during his talks with US President Donald Trump.
