Details: A few hours before, Trump Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia, Kit Kelloggi, warned that both parties would have to make concessions if they hope to agree on the settlement of the war.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky “has already made it clear that he would soften his position on territories,” Kellogo said. “AND [правителю Росії Володимиру] Putin will also have to soften their positions. ”
“Over time, we will discuss with everyone, and probably in the near future,” Kellog said. “And that’s good for both sides,” he added.
Prehistory:
- The day before, Zelensky stated that the exclusion of Kiev from negotiations between the United States and Russia on war in Ukraine would be “very dangerous”. According to him, the US, Ukraine, Russia and EU representatives should be at the negotiation table.
- Earlier, Zelensky said that any security guarantees for Ukraine should be involved in the US to be effective.
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that reaching an agreement on the termination of hostilities in Ukraine would require a concern both from Moscow and Kyiv, and suggested that Ukraine would have to refuse its purpose to return the entire territory captured by Russia over the last decade.
- Zelensky also emphasized that Ukraine would not agree to a compromise, which would envisage recognition of the occupied territories in part of the Russian Federation, even under the pressure of all allies.
