Ukraine currently does not have enough forces to take Donbass and Crimea back from Russia by military means, so it is counting on diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Le Parisien.

"These territories are now effectively controlled by the Russians," the Kiev leader explained to the French daily. He added: "We do not have the strength to reconquer them. We can only count on diplomatic pressure from the international community to force Putin to sit at the negotiating table."

Statements that have rekindled the hypothesis of a possible resumption of negotiations with Moscow for the end of the conflict. And there is anticipation - in this scenario - to understand what the concrete proposals, the role and the methods of action of the United States will be , especially in view of the inauguration of the new president Donald Trump , expected in January.

Trump has spoken repeatedly about the need to end the war between Russia and Ukraine , and there have also been rumors about his “ready-made” plan to reach a ceasefire.
