Did the U.S. Just Offer Ukraine to Russia? Shocking Peace Deal Claims Explained - Hanna Shelest - TVP WORLD



Amid alarming reports of backchannel talks between U.S. officials and Moscow, is Ukraine being quietly offered up for peace? In this powerful interview, we unpack the controversial proposal hinted by Witkoff, the implications for NATO, Article 5, and the possible long-term betrayal of European security. Ethnic cleansing, suppression of Ukrainian identity, and the dangerous normalization of Russian occupation—all laid bare. Can Europe and the U.S. still stand united? Hanna Shelest, Director of Security Programmes at Ukrainian Prism, joined TVP World to discuss this topic.

Through neither the interviewer nor Hanna Shelest were willing to flat out say that the U.S. has abandoned them, they did question whether that might be the case and what could happen if it were.

From my perspective, Ukraine has lost us as an ally and we are indeed looking to "end the war" by giving Russia parts of Ukraine. This would tie in with us leaving NATO. I don't think anyone believes that Trump would honor Article 5.
