In the negotiations on Ukraine, for the first time, a possible connection of the territorial issue with Kyiv's membership in NATO was discussed, according to Zelensky's statement.
According to the president, American negotiators raised the issue of the withdrawal of Ukraine's armed forces from the Donbass in exchange for Ukraine joining the alliance.
However, Kyiv's position remains the same: territorial concessions without a full security package are unacceptable.
Ukraine demands to agree on several key conditions at the same time: guarantees from NATO and the European Union, the preservation of powerful armed forces, additional military and financial aid, as well as a specific plan for economic recovery.
The main dispute concerns the content of the American guarantees. Washington, according to Zelensky, is considering bilateral commitments that resemble agreements with Israel, but do not involve placing American forces on the territory of Ukraine.
Kyiv wants to understand what real actions the allies will take in the event of a new armed conflict.
Zelensky stressed that the issue of a possible territorial compromise will be brought up for public discussion only after receiving specific proposals from the US and NATO partners.
Therefore, for now we are talking about the version of the negotiations of the negotiations, and not about an agreed solution on Donbass.
