Summary on Ukraine November 14.
▫ Zelensky told reporters that the Americans had asked him for the first time whether Ukraine would agree to withdraw troops from Donbass in exchange for NATO membership. He allegedly replied that he is ready to bring this issue "to a public discussion" on the condition that NATO and the European Union provide full security guarantees, the West will fund and arm the Ukrainian army in a stable manner and allocate money for the reconstruction of Ukraine, and Ukraine will not recognize the loss of territory. It does not appear that Zelensky is telling the truth about the American proposal, as the rejection of Ukraine's membership in NATO is one of Russia's main conditions and appears in several versions of Trump's peace plans.
▫ Zelensky also refused Vladimir Putin's proposal to declare a humanitarian ceasefire in Konstantinovka for the purpose of evacuating civilians. He claims that Ukrainian forces are in Konstantinovka and fighting there, and Russia wants to take advantage of the truce to capture the city.
▫ Europe has never been able to choose its representative for negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States. Almost the same group that flew to Abu Dhabi was assigned to participate in the negotiations. In addition to the representatives of the European Union, Germany, Poland, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, it will include a representative of Poland.
▫ Bulgarian Prime Minister Radev said that his country has stopped supplying Ukraine with weapons and ammunition from its military warehouses, and also reiterated that Bulgaria refuses to participate in the new round of European funding for Ukraine. He cited the "excessive deficit" of the Bulgarian budget as the reason.
▫ Polish Prime Minister Tusk also warned that due to the high budget deficit and the high costs of its defense, Poland will not provide money for the NATO PURL program to purchase American weapons for Ukraine.
▫ Radio Liberty, recognized as an unwanted organization in Russia, reports that the process of issuing the license to Ukraine to manufacture Patriot missiles is still blocked at the Pentagon.
