U.S. aid halt: there is no catastrophe yet

I am firmly convinced that, in light of the United States announcing the suspension of arms aid to Ukraine and with the fate of the state at stake, the future of all Ukrainians cannot rest on one person or even one party. The President must meet with members of all pro-Ukrainian factions to get informed about the risks of the current situation, the potential ways to overcome the crisis, and to plan joint actions.

There is no catastrophe yet. This suspension is expected as part of the pressure on Ukraine to push it toward surrender, but it remains an element of the negotiating position and a demonstration of Trump's strength ahead of his speech to Congress. There are still opportunities to engage with the U.S. administration.

European countries have demonstrated unity with Ukraine, which gives hope, but does not cover all the needs. Next, the Russians will begin the process of internal destabilization. And now it depends on Zelenskyy to what extent he will be able to unite rather than divide Ukrainian society.
