Information that Ukraine rejected a new US proposal to change Donbas borders is not true. According to a source close to the Ukrainian negotiating delegation, the American side did not put forward such an initiative.
This was reported on November 11 by "Ukrainska Pravda" citing its interlocutor.
"There was no such initiative, therefore, there could be no refusal. This is not true", - the source told the publication.
Thus, the UP interlocutor denied not only the fact of the Ukrainian side's refusal, but also the very existence of the corresponding American proposal.
Earlier, the British newspaper The Telegraph reported that representatives of Donald Trump's administration proposed to Ukraine a territorial compromise to advance peace negotiations with Russia.
According to the publication, it was about a possible change in the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Such an option could allow Moscow to claim control over all of Donbas without withdrawing Ukrainian troops from cities that remain under Kyiv's control.
As previously reported by "Kurs Ukrainy", The Telegraph claimed that the Ukrainian side did not agree to the proposed option.
There are currently no official confirmations of the existence of such an initiative from the US.
At the same time, on November 11, the second day of trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, the US and Russia ended in Abu Dhabi. According to a UP source, after that the Ukrainian delegation began a separate meeting with representatives of European countries.
