This declaration comes in a particular context for the Western world: Republican candidate Donald Trump has just won the American presidential election, with the promise, on the Ukrainian issue, of negotiating a peace plan. This plan could involve ceding Crimea and Donbass to Russia, which has been waging a war of invasion of Ukraine for more than two years.
