Ukraine Rejected Trump's Proposal On Donbas

Ukraine Rejected Trump's Proposal On Donbas
Donald Trump

Ukraine will never recognize any redrawing of its borders—neither de facto nor de jure.

Ukraine has rejected a U.S. proposal to redraw the borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in order to end the war with Russia, according to The Telegraph.

The peace process has now reached an impasse due to Moscow’s demand that Ukraine cede approximately 5,200 km² of territory in the Donbas—an area that Vladimir Putin’s forces have failed to capture in nearly five years of fighting.

Ahead of the talks between the parties in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that after the war ends, Ukraine would take on a “slightly different form.”

U.S. officials also hinted that Kyiv had privately acknowledged the possibility of a compromise on this issue. However, a Ukrainian source close to the negotiations told the publication that the country’s delegation “never discussed any concessions regarding territories occupied by Russia.”

“Ukraine will never recognize this—neither de facto nor de jure. And this has always been our position at the negotiating table,” he emphasized.
