Zelensky: negotiators still hold different views on Ukrainian territories

The head of state said this in a telephone interview with Bloomberg, Ukrinform reports.

“There are visions of the US, Russia and Ukraine — and we don’t have a unified view on Donbas,” Zelensky said.

According to the president, elements of the US plan require further discussion on a number of “sensitive issues,” including security guarantees for Ukraine and control over the eastern regions.

He added that no agreement had yet been reached in the negotiations on the issue of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Zelensky also said that Kyiv insists on a separate agreement on security guarantees from Western allies, primarily the US.

“There is one question I — and all Ukrainians — want to get an answer to: if Russia again starts the war, what will our partners do” Zelensky said.

As reported by Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, and Armed Forces Chief of Staff Andriy Hnatov discussed with White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner key issues that could guarantee an end to the bloodshed and remove the threat of a new Russian invasion.
