When Trump offered a 28-point peace plan last week – and threatened to freeze military aid if Kyiv did not agree to it by November 27 – Ukrainians felt gutted and betrayed. Washington “wants us to capitulate”, said 42-year-old Yevheniya Demyanenko, who sells seeds, pots and fertiliser in southeastern Kyiv. Bohdan, a drone operator on leave in the Ukrainian capital, suggested that the West’s collective “helplessness and cynicism are endless”. “They kept withholding military aid, couldn’t agree on how to respond, and we keep paying for their indecisiveness with our blood, the blood of our children,” he said, withholding his last name in line with wartime regulations.
