Ukrainian President Volodymyr Greenable on Tuesday warned US negotiators against territorial concessions against Russia, which Ukraine considers to be inadmissible. TASR writes about this, according to the DPA report.
“All territories belong to the Unit State of Ukraine,” He said Greeding at a Tuesday press conference with NATO Secretary -General Mark Ruttem in the port city of Odessa. “And you know that this is a red line for us – not to recognize temporarily occupied areas like Ukrainian, but as Russian,” He said Greeny and added that only the Ukrainian people would definitely be about his territory.
The Ukrainian president also accused US officials of negotiating things that go beyond their competences. According to DPA, he was mainly referred to at Steve Witkoff, a US President Donald Trump’s special ambassador, who met Russian President Vladimir Putin last week. After the Wiktoff meeting, he declared that The future peace agreement between Moscow and Kiev should also be addressed by “so -called five territories”.
Russia annexed the Ukrainian Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and in 2022 after the launch of the nationwide invasion and manipulated referendums in the occupied territories It also annexed Luhanská, Donetská, Zaporožská and Kersonian areas. However, none of them controls them completely.
The head of the Russian intelligence of SVR Sergei Naryshkin recently stated that Kiev must give up these territories. DPA recalls that the Ukrainian leadership no longer talks about the possibility of conquering occupied territories by military force. However, they refuse the official handover of the territories in favor of Russia.
