Zelenskyy: Americans are trying to find "modifications" to Donbas proposals to end war

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the US is trying to find different ways of modifying proposals to resolve the territorial issue and end the war, but that the matter must in any case be discussed at the level of leaders.

Details: Zelenskyy said that the Americans regularly raise the issue of Donbas during negotiations.

Quote: "Of course, they are focusing their attention on this. They think that to stop this war, we have to withdraw from our territory. You cannot talk to us like that when it comes to our country's independence. They are trying to find some modifications to this. And I've heard different things."

Details: Zelenskyy added that he would not go into detail, as it would take hours "to discuss all these modifications".

Quote: "But in any case, everything depends on the willingness of the American side to put pressure on the Russians or not. It depends on the format of their dialogue with the Russians."

Details: Meanwhile, Zelenskyy noted that if there is a desire to resolve such sensitive issues, they need to be discussed.

"We must not only discuss them, but also resolve them, and we must talk about them at the level of leaders. But for that, we need positive signals from the American side and support from the Russian side for their participation as well," he added.
