The Observer view on the proposed Ukraine deal: Kyiv's allies must not fall into Putin's trap | Observer editorial
Briefly

The article emphasizes the importance of a genuine, sustainable peace in Ukraine rather than a hasty agreement that could lead to future conflicts. While stopping the violence is crucial, the proposed 30-day truce brings conditions that could undermine Ukraine’s independence. The author warns that negotiations should not yield to Russian demands that aim to manipulate the situation. Trump and western leaders are urged to resist Putin's tactics, which could weaken not just Ukraine but the security of the entire European region.
Peace at any price is no peace at all; history shows rushing into a deal risks renewed conflict and a weakened European security.
Russia's insistence on discussing Ukraine's sovereignty as a prerequisite for a truce is a tactic to delay negotiations and gain broader concessions.
