"The Americans are prepared to finalize these guarantees at a high level once Ukraine is ready to withdraw from Donbas, Zelenskyy told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday."
"This is clearly a wrong approach, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said, adding that it is the Russian playbook of negotiations: demanding something that has never been theirs."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the US is making security guarantees contingent upon Ukraine's surrender of the eastern Donbas region to Russia. This statement coincided with a visit from a Russian delegation to Washington. Negotiations to end the ongoing invasion of Ukraine have stalled, with Moscow insisting on the cession of Luhansk and Donetsk. Ukraine seeks concrete security guarantees from Western allies to prevent future Russian aggression. European Union officials expressed concerns about pressuring Ukraine to cede territory, labeling it a dangerous negotiation tactic.
