TDC Expert on RTVE Play: Ukraine’s Stance on Negotiations and Security

On February 13, 2025, Oleksandr Slyvchuk, Coordinator of the Spain and Latin America Cooperation Program, appeared on Cafè d’idees, a morning talk show broadcast on RTVE Play in Spain, to discuss recent diplomatic developments and Ukraine’s position on negotiations and international cooperation.

Oleksandr Slyvchuk highlighted that Trump’s two phone calls on the same day—first to Putin, then to Zelenskyy—were aimed at understanding both sides’ positions rather than signaling any policy commitment. He criticized the misconception in Washington that territorial compromises could resolve the conflict, emphasizing that Russia’s goal is not just acquiring land but controlling Ukraine by limiting its sovereignty, military capabilities, and Euro-Atlantic integration.

Oleksandr Slyvchuk stressed that any negotiation must involve Europe, not just the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. He supported Spain’s position that the war is a European security issue, requiring EU participation in any future peace talks.
