People in Kyiv have given mixed reactions to the US-Ukraine<\/a> agreement, with many saying they hadn’t yet had time to fully understand its implications.<\/p>\n

Diana Abramova was at a rally in Independence Square demanding information on missing Ukrainian soldiers. Her father, Valentyn Stroyvans, went missing in combat last year.<\/p>\n

She said: “Any news is hard to take \u2014 whether it\u2019s about negotiations or anything else. But I still believe and hope that any action will bring us closer to one thing: Ukraine<\/a>\u2019s victory. Only victory.”<\/p>\n

University lecturer Natalia Vysotska, 74, said she wasn\u2019t familiar with the details of the agreement but remained cautiously optimistic.<\/p>\n

She said: “I don\u2019t know what the terms are \u2014 they may not be favourable for Ukraine<\/a> at all. Still, if it was signed, our experts must have weighed the pros and cons. I hope it will be beneficial.”<\/p>\n

Others were more sceptical. Iryna Vasylevska, 37, expressed frustration and disillusionment with the broader implications of the deal.<\/p>\n

She said she felt terrible that “our land is just a bargaining chip for the rest of the world and that we do not have our own full protection, but rely on someone”.<\/p>\n

Ms Vasylevska added: “My vision is that instead of strengthening ourselves, we continue to give it all away. I feel sorry for our land and for our people.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"People in Kyiv have given mixed reactions to the US-Ukraine agreement, with many saying they hadn’t yet had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[32,2595,2000,299,33719,332,7661,33720,657,33718,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-66228","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-drones","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-reconstruction-investment-fund","13":"tag-russia","14":"tag-russia-ukraine-war","15":"tag-russian-drone-strikes","16":"tag-ukraine","17":"tag-us-ukraine-mineral-deal","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114433756171304036","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
