Kyiv watches Tehran — if Washington yields, who's next?
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media

For two months, Kyiv has watched Trump negotiate with his declared adversaries — first Putin (May 9 ceasefire), now Tehran — without consulting allies.

That is exactly the lesson Moscow is drawing. Kyiv watches the Iran impasse not out of direct interest, but because it reveals the Trump administration's diplomatic logic.
