As Ukrainians suffer through a brutal winter of Russian strikes, few people in the country think that Mr. Putin will agree to stop fighting anytime soon.
On Feb. 3, the day before the talks were to resume, Russia sent a record number of ballistic missiles into Kyiv, including at least five at power plants.
Ukrainian negotiators raced to soften its provisions, and the diplomatic dance has continued for months.
But a 28-point peace plan drafted late last year by American and Russian envoys looked to Ukraine like a demand for surrender.
Ukraine’s European allies have said that Russia cannot be rewarded for its aggression.
Many Ukrainians, however, see Mr. Trump as loyal only to himself, and they have feared that in his rush to end the war, he will force an unjust peace on Ukraine.
This month, Ms. Matviichuk, who runs an organization that shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022 for documenting war crimes by Moscow, posed a question on Facebook: “Why has Trump’s year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion?”
“There are no limits for Putin, because a human dimension is not a priority of these negotiations,” Ms. Matviichuk said.
The politicians discuss natural minerals, Russia’s territorial interests, even Putin’s vision of Ukrainian history, but they don’t speak about people at all.
To lead the American delegation, Mr. Trump has chosen real-estate developers with a personal connection to him.
Russia has launched 154 of those missiles at Ukraine this year, according to the data set, about three times the number fired during the same period last year.
Russia increased its own production of missiles, drones, shells and mines.
Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human-rights activist, said that the human cost of the war had been excised from the peace talks as the Trump administration treats negotiations like a real estate deal that would carve up both Ukraine and its natural resources.
Russia sent more than 53,000 long-range drones to civilian targets in Ukraine in 2025, almost five times the number it sent the year before.
Russia captured more territory in its slow-moving advances in 2025 than in any year since 2022, when it launched its full-scale invasion.
