Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelansky said he would not take Donbas’s eastern region in Russia and pushed to attend the talks for Kiev as the US and Russian leaders prepared to meet on Friday.
Vladimir Putin is demanding that Ukraine left the Donnetsk and Luhansk regions, making Donbas together as a condition to unlock a ceasefire and enter a conversation on a long -term peace agreement.
But such a decision will require Zelanski to order soldiers to withdraw 9,000 square kilometers from the Ukrainian region, handing over a win to Moscow that his army could not get military military for more than a decade.
“For Russians, Donbas is a pull for future new aggressive,” Zelancesi told reporters in Kiev on Tuesday. “No regional issue can be separated from safety guarantee.”
The US and Russian officials were working towards an agreement on Ukrainian areas for a summit meeting between Donald Trump and Putin in Alaska, Bloomberg News reported last week citing people familiar with the matter. Ukraine and its European colleagues are insisting on fighting the current frontline as the first step before talking at a more permanent disposal and stopping the current frontline for the cold.
Trump on Monday reduced expectations for his meeting with Putin, casting it as a “feel-out meeting” and said he would honor Ukrainian and European leaders after CITDown. The US President, who promised to end the war quickly after taking the position, said he hoped that he would either be outlined as a deal, which included the land swaps interacted with Putin, or he did not believe that a peace deal could be done.
“I don’t know what would be discussed without us, they probably have a bilateral track,” Zelansky said, which was not invited to the summit. “The Ukrainian issue should be discussed by at least three parties.”
He said that Europe should also be part of the dialogue as Ukraine wants to join the European Union.
Along with leaders from Zelancesi, France, Germany, UK, Italy, Poland and Finland, Putin will hold a call with Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday before the summit. European Union leaders said this week that any peace agreement should “respect international law,” including the principles of freedom, sovereignty, regional integrity, “saying that international borders should not be replaced by force.
Russia has carried forward its airstrikes on Ukraine in recent months and its army is moving in the eastern regions of Ukraine in a slow grinding war. Zelansky said that Moscow wants to make a story that “advance of Russia and Ukraine’s necklace” ahead of the Alaska summit.
“In this month, they will try to demonstrate progress in all directions to press Ukraine politically, demanding concession,” Zelanceki said. “We understand this and our army is preparing for it.”
The Ukrainian President said that Russia is ready for a new military aggressive after August 15. By transferring about 30,000 troops to the Donnetsk region from the northern Sumi region of Zaporizhia and Ukraine, the southern region of Ukraine.
“We feel that they will be ready with those brigade before September,” Zelansky said, additional Russian soldiers may be ready in November.
He said that Ukraine is still in the ratio of 1: 2.4 by the Russian artillery. The President said that it has the advantage of the first-person visual drone, which allows pilots to monitor the battleground in real time, in the ratio of 2.4: 1 which can increase to 2.5: 1. If help in collaborative finance production, the President said.
Kiev has also agreed to buy US weapons worth $ 1 billion to $ 1.5 billion with the US.
