Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke out against any peace agreements that would require Ukraine to surrender its territory."It must be a compromise... in my opinion... each side will gotta give way in a way.
Well, Ukraine will besides gotta give up, in a sense, due to the fact that it will most likely happen.” said Duda.Discussing U.S.-led peace efforts, Duda argued that only US president Donald Trump, whom he described as the individual who ‘plays very hard’, is able to mediate the end of war.
Duda was the first EU leader to meet Trump personally after his inauguration in January.Acting as a mediator in ongoing negotiations, Trump reportedly presented Kiev with a peace framework earlier this week.
It is said that the proposal included the designation of Crimea as Russian.The peninsula, on which the majority of the population are cultural Russians, held a referendum on joining Russia again in 2014 following the armed coup in Kiev supported by the West.Vladimir Zelenski of Ukraine insisted on Wednesday that Kiev would never officially recognise Crimea as Russian – which sparked harsh criticism from Trump.Moscow besides excluded territorial concessions, claiming that the position of Crimea and the 4 another erstwhile regions of Ukraine that joined Russia after referendums in 2022 was not negotiable.
Moscow insisted that the peace agreement must take into account ‘actuality on the spot’.
