The deputy press secretary of the White House, Anna Kelly, rejected the statements of foreign media that America is ready to provide Ukraine with security assurances only on the condition that Volodymyr Zelensky agrees to the withdrawal of his troops from the Donetsk region.
Main theses:
- Trump’s team complains that the Financial Times “allows criminals to deceive anonymously.”
- Zelenskyi’s office has not yet commented on this situation.
Trump assures that they are not putting pressure on Zelensky According to Kelly, the latest news in the media are false and are intended to devalue progress in the peaceful settlement.
She also noted that the role of the States in the negotiation process is to unite the parties to reach an agreement, and not to impose requirements.
The representative of the White House called the information that appeared in the Financial Times invalid and emphasized that it is an “absolute lie” created to destroy the ongoing dialogue after the recent tripartite meeting in Abu Dhabi.
According to sources familiar with the US position, Washington does not seek to force Ukraine to make territorial concessions. Instead, security guarantees can be part of a peace agreement, but the content of such a document depends solely on the agreements between Ukraine and Russia.
Earlier in the mass media there were reports that the provision of guarantees from the US could be related to Zelenskyi’s agreement to the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the part of Donbas controlled by Kyiv.
