Ukraine rejects Russian demand to cede Donbas in US-mediated peace talks
Ukraine has reportedly rejected Russia’s demand to withdraw from the parts of Donbas not controlled by the Russian army as a condition for ending the war, during peace talks held with the US in Florida.
Sources informing RBK-Ukraine reported that the meeting in Florida focused on the “problematic issues” of a potential peace agreement, with the territorial dispute being a major topic of discussion.
According to the sources, the American side conveyed Russia’s position to the Ukrainian delegation, which demands the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbas.
Kyiv’s stance is clear: Withdrawal is not possible
Ukrainian negotiators emphasized that such an approach is not feasible due to constitutional constraints, public opinion in Ukraine, and the actual situation on the ground.
