ZELENSKY REJECTS CEDING DONBAS TO RUSSIA IN EXCHANGE FOR PEACE
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly rejected any proposal that would require Kyiv to cede the Donbas to Russia as part of a potential peace agreement, following talks with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Kyiv is also pressing Washington for additional Patriot air-defense missiles, as the United States plans to increase production next year.
The Ukrainian presidency says territorial concessions remain unacceptable, while Kyiv continues to seek stronger U.S. military support amid the ongoing war with Russia.
