The United States is demanding that Ukraine withdraw from Donbas in exchange for ending the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a joint press conference with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin, APA reports.
According to Zelensky, Washington regularly raises the issue of Donbas during negotiations and believes that Ukraine should withdraw from its own territory.
"They believe that we must leave our own territory to stop the war. It is impossible to speak to us in this way when the independence of our country is at stake," Zelensky stressed.
The Ukrainian president noted that the US side is exploring various options to resolve the territorial issue. However, he emphasized that such sensitive matters should be discussed at the level of heads of state.
