” The Telegraph”: Zelensky ready to hand over territories for peace

Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky, appears ready to relax his positions in negotiations and accept the formal surrender of some territories for Russia in exchange for peace, an option the Trump administration has considered inevitable. Zelensky's main condition remains the inclusion of security guarantees for Ukraine, which are part of the European Allies plan, reports the British newspaper “The Telegraph”, which has been a supporter of Ukraine in the conflict with Moscow.

According to sources close to the issue, quoted by “correspondent The Telegraph” in Brussels, Zelensky has submitted concrete proposals during recent meetings with European leaders, on the eve of the 15 August summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He has urged his allies, particularly the British and the European Union, not to accept any agreements that could be reached in his absence during the bilatheral meeting in Alaska.

However, Zelensky has indicated that he is willing to sign an agreement that would mean giving up the actual control of territories Russia has already occupied militarily, whether in whole or in part (Krimea, Lugansk regions, Donnetsk ut, Zaporizia and Khersoni), as long as this agreement includes the “European “”.

A senior Western official, who has spoken on condition of anonymity, has confirmed to the paper that <x0-lettings can only be limited to the current front line”. /Periscopi
