Ukraine rejected Trump's proposal to change the borders of Donbass.
Ukraine did not accept the US proposal to change the borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in order to end the war with Russia, the "Telegraph" writes. Now the settlement process has reached an impasse due to Moscow's demand to transfer to it about 5.2 thousand square kilometers of territory in the Donbass, which Vladimir Putin's army was unable to conquer during almost 5 years of fighting.
Before the talks between the parties in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, US President Donald Trump said that after the end of the war, Ukraine would have a "slightly different shape". US officials also hinted that Kiev was privately exploring the possibility of a compromise on this issue. However, a Ukrainian source close to the negotiations stated that the country's delegation "never discussed any concessions in relation to territories occupied by Russia." "Ukraine will never recognize this - neither de facto nor de jure. And this has always been our position at the negotiating table," he emphasized.
