‘We Have Sacrificed Too Much’ – Ukrainians Defiant Ahead of Friday’s Alaska Talks

On Friday, Aug. 15, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Alaska to discuss Ukraine, in particular the prospects for peace.

Details remain scarce, but Moscow is believed to be pushing for Kyiv to concede the Donetsk region – where thousands of Russian troops have died without securing control – in exchange for freezing the line of contact.

Kyiv Post reached out to locals on the streets of Kyiv with a few basic questions: “Do you expect results from the meeting between Trump and Putin?” “How do you feel about territorial concessions to Russia for the sake of peace?”
