The US is still pushing for Kyiv to make big territorial concessions to Russia to halt the war that started with Moscow’s February 2022 invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday. Washington wants only Ukraine to withdraw its troops from parts of the Donetsk region, not Russia, where a demilitarised “free economic zone” as a buffer between the two armies would be installed, Zelensky told reporters. “We have two key points of disagreement: the territories of Donetsk and everything related to them, and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. These are the two topics we continue to discuss,” Zelensky said.
