Ukraine, Zelensky: “With the US, positions still differ on the territories”

Berlin, Dec. 15 (LaPresse) – Ukraine and the United States have not yet reached an agreement on the issue of territories. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a press conference in Berlin with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Reported by Rbc Ukraine. “There has been enough dialogue on the territories. It seems to me that so far we have different positions, to be honest. But I believe my personal position has been heard. I am very glad to have been able to express this position personally,” he said. Talks with the US negotiators “have not been easy, but they have been productive,” the Kyiv leader added. The US delegation is not asking anything from Ukraine regarding territorial concessions, merely conveying Russia’s position, Zelensky clarified. “I would like us to treat President Trump’s delegation with respect. And I do not believe the United States asked for anything. They consider us strategic partners. Therefore, I would phrase it this way: the issue of the territories, in relation to the Russian view or Russian demands, we heard it from the United States. We perceive it as a request from Russia,” he concluded.
