ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Peace talks between the United States and Russia, aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, have left local Ukrainians feeling tense. Despite ongoing discussions, no deal has been reached, and Ukraine remains under attack by Russia for more than three years.
“I think Putin is doing what he can to get as much territory from Ukraine as possible,” Melissa Sydor said.
“Ukrainians want peace they want the killings to stop,” Roman Misula said. Ukrainians expressed skepticism that President Donald Trump can appease Vladimir Putin and bring an end to the war. Many hope for peace without Ukraine having to give up territory.
“I want to pray for this,” Tatyana Boverlyak said.
“The land has specific meaning and sense for Ukrainians it’s not just the land the piece of territory, this is something from the heart,” she explained.
Oleksandra Zakharchyshyn, agreed that territory should not be part of the negotiations. “There’s thousands of civilians and soldiers who died because of that and giving up that land is not just unfair to the families of those victims it’s unconstitutional as Zelenskyy mentioned,” Zakharchyshyn said.
Boverlyak suggested that it might be best for President Zelenskyy not to participate in the summit. “It’s very emotional for President Zelenskyy to hold himself and literally not to kill Putin,” Boverlyak said.
Melissa Sydor, with the Ukrainian organization “RocMaidan,” questioned the motives of both Putin and Trump. “It’s dangerous to have Russia and the United States make a decision about a country without them even at the table,” Sydor said.
Roman Misula, vice president of the Ukrainian Cultural Center, warned about Putin’s tactics. “We are familiar with his tactics of prolonging the conflicts,” Misula said. “Certainly we don’t feel he is the most trustworthy person in a negotiation.”
Trump and Putin did not make a concrete deal on a ceasefire, and there is no word yet on when another meeting will take place.
