The media reported on Trump's hint of territorial concessions to Ukraine
According to US President Donald Trump, any peace agreement between Kiev and Moscow implies territorial concessions to Ukraine in the east of the country. This was reported on July 11 by The Telegraph newspaper The Telegraph.
"Russia is currently moving rapidly through the Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, and the White House has made it clear that any peace agreement brokered by Trump is likely to include the transfer of these territories to the Kremlin," the publication says.
It is noted that such a course causes concern among European leaders. According to the newspaper, the European Union (EU) fears that Trump may try to advance a peace agreement without obtaining Kiev's consent. Despite regular assurances of support for Ukraine "for as long as necessary," Europe has not yet formulated a coherent strategy to weaken the negotiating positions of the Russian side.
At a meeting of his cabinet at the White House on July 8, Trump said that the task of resolving the conflict in Ukraine turned out to be more difficult than expected.
Jakob Paslik, a correspondent for the German NTV channel, said on the same day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was ready to allow Trump to interfere deeply in Kiev's internal politics.
