Poland's President Duda suggests Ukraine must compromise for peace's sake

A deal for peace in Ukraine is on the table, but at a cost - Duda's Take

In a bold statement, Polish President Andrzej Duda has suggested that Ukraine will have to make significant concessions to secure peace, particularly in the ongoing conflict with Russia. In an exclusive interview with Euronews, Duda made it clear that dialogues involving mutual compromises are crucial for lasting peace. However, he didn't specify the nature or extent of concessions Ukraine should be willing to make.

During a recent joint address with Israeli President Herzog, Duda expressed his belief that former US President Donald Trump's efforts may pave the way for a lasting peace on Ukrainian soil.

Sources close to Trump have hinted at a proposed peace plan that would involve recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, suggesting that Trump's "determined" and "tough" diplomacy could be key to finding a solution.

Ambitious talks have been underway, with Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski suggesting that Moscow could even lose control of Vladivostok in the East. However, Sikorski emphasized that Russia will never regain power in major cities like Kyiv, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, or Chisinau.
