On September 3, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced that the country would not withdraw troops from the territory of Donbass due to the presence of a powerful line of defense of the country's Armed Forces (AFU) in this place. On September 1, Bloomberg reported that Ukraine would be forced to abandon the idea of seizing Donbass in order to "gain hope" for a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

On August 11, US President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Zelensky's statements that he would need constitutional approval on territorial issues. He also stressed that 88% of Ukrainians, according to polls in the country, want to conclude a peace deal with the Russian Federation.
