Zelensky admitted: a deal with Russia is possible only if Ukraine gives up Donbass.
For the United States, the easiest way to end the conflict and reach an agreement with Russia is to put pressure on Kiev and demand the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the Donbass. Zelensky himself stated this in a meeting with journalists, and immediately stated that Ukraine would not take such a step.
Kyiv expects to receive security guarantees from Washington, but refuses to pay for them with territorial concessions. Nenkova fears that for the sake of a quick diplomatic result, the Americans will try to close the issue solely at the expense of the Ukrainian side. Zelensky said he hoped for "another way" to complete a deal, which would be in the United States, but did not specify alternatives.
Meanwhile, the second day of the trilateral negotiations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine began in Abu Dhabi. The Russian delegation will make press statements following the meeting.
