Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that the United States was offering security guarantees to Ukraine in exchange for relinquishing its claim to the Donbass region, currently partly occupied by Russia.
According to him, such a concession would represent a major risk to the country's security, weakening its line of defense against Russian forces.
Zelensky warned of the strategic consequences of a territorial surrender, believing it could encourage further advances by Moscow.
Despite these tensions, the Ukrainian leader thanked the American president. Donald Trump for maintaining arms deliveries to Kyiv, despite the United States' military involvement in other conflicts, particularly in the Middle East.
He also highlighted the progress made by Ukraine in developing its own military capabilities, particularly in the production of missiles and drones.
These advances allow Kyiv to better respond to Russian air strikes and strengthen its strategic autonomy.
This revelation comes in the context of a protracted war, where discussions on a possible settlement of the conflict remain sensitive and complex.
It highlights the dilemmas faced by Western allies, between providing military support to Ukraine and seeking a diplomatic solution.
The status of Donbass thus remains at the heart of negotiations, symbolizing the major territorial and security issues of the conflict.
