A Foreign Ministry spokesperson refused to comment on the WSJ article about a possible plan from the Trump team for Ukraine.

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi refused to comment on The Wall Street Journal's publication about a possible plan from US President-elect Donald Trump's team for Ukraine, noting that these are only “someone's opinions” and do not reflect the “official position,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said late on November 7, UNN reports.

We see no reason and no sense in discussing things that are circulated in the media that do not actually reflect the official position or proposals. These are just someone's opinions disseminated in the media. We see no point in giving them more weight and gravitas than they have. So I won't go into details, hypothesizing about whether we can accept or not accept or discuss these things

- Tychy commented during a briefing on a WSJ publication about a peace plan allegedly being prepared by the Trump administration, where one of the points was “a potential freeze on the battlefield” and “whether this option is being considered or could be considered by the government of Ukraine.

AddendumAddendum

The office of Donald Trump , who won the US presidential election, has spoken out about possible actions regarding Ukraine. According to the WSJ, which cited three sources close to Trump, one of the plans is for Kyiv to promise not to join NATO for at least 20 years, and in return, Washington will continue to supply Ukraine with weapons to deter further attacks by Russia. According to the newspaper, all proposals provide for a “freeze” on the war, which could cement Russia's seizure of about 20 percent of Ukraine's territory, DW reports.

Earlier, former US Presidential advisers Keith Kellogg and Fred Flake suggested that Ukraine should be deprived of US support and arms supplies until Kyiv agrees to peace talks with Russia. Ukraine may try to regain the lost territories, but it will have to do so through diplomacy, the WSJ noted.
