Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has raised concerns over a proposed $12 trillion economic cooperation plan between Russia and the United States, reportedly developed without Ukraine’s participation. The so-called “Dmitriev Package”, named after Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, is said to involve former U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The plan reportedly includes lifting sanctions and launching joint economic projects, some of which may touch Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine has not been involved in these discussions and strongly warned against any agreements that could affect the country’s sovereignty or security without its consent. He stated, “We are making it clear that Ukraine will not support any potential agreements about us that are made without us.

Peace Talks and War Timeline
The United States has suggested a deadline for ending the war in Ukraine by June 2026, and plans to host further trilateral talks in Miami with Russia and Ukraine. Zelenskyy acknowledged this timeline, noting that the U.S. is likely to pressure involved parties to comply. Previous discussions, including rounds in Abu Dhabi, have yet to yield concrete results, and Zelenskyy stressed that any agreement must respect Ukraine’s participation and sovereignty.

Current Conflict Situation
Amid these developments, Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, causing widespread power outages and reductions in nuclear power output. Zelenskyy condemned these attacks, highlighting that they pose broader regional security risks, not just for Ukraine.

The ongoing situation demonstrates the complexity of negotiating peace while balancing Ukraine’s sovereignty and international economic and strategic interests.

Sanction relief alone will not end the war.
