Olena Matvienko, a 66-year-old Ukrainian displaced by the conflict, expresses her anguish over potential concessions of her homeland to Russia during peace negotiations influenced by U.S. officials. After losing her family and home in Mariupol, she feels a deep emotional connection to her city and is disturbed by recent comments from President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth suggesting that Ukraine may have to relinquish territory. Around 4.6 million Ukrainians displaced seek hope, yet many believe a peace deal could prevent their return home.
If a part of America were taken from them, I would like to see how they would react, said Ms. Matvienko, one of about 4.6 million Ukrainians who have fled their homes.
Mr. Trump has promised to bring a quick end to the war... saying that Russia could keep at least some of the Ukrainian territory it has captured.
