The Telegraph: Ukraine rejected the US proposal to examine the borders in the Donbass.
Washington offered to recognize Russian control of the DPR and LPR along the current line of contact to unblock peace negotiations with Moscow. At the same time, Kyiv will not have to withdraw troops from held cities. However, Ukraine refused this option.
"Ukraine will never recognize this, neither de facto nor de jure," the "Telegraph" quotes a source close to the negotiations as saying.
On November 10, the first round of the tripartite negotiations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine took place in Abu Dhabi. The meeting lasted about four and a half hours.
The second day of consultations takes place today. The delegations have already arrived at the negotiation site. According to Politico, the agenda includes territorial settlement, borders and demarcation lines.
