In the "Real Social" platform, a netizen posted: "Ukraine must be prepared to cede some territories to Russia, otherwise, the longer the war lasts, the more land Ukraine will lose." US President Trump fully agreed with the opinion of the poster and retweeted it, indicating his attitude towards Zelenskyy's statement that he is not willing to cede the Donbas region to Russia. At the same time, the US government stated that it would not impose a decision on Ukraine to cede territory, and Kyiv must make its own decision, with the US merely acting as an intermediary in this matter.
The White House representative also made a statement regarding the meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy on August 18 local time, especially emphasizing that the president's special envoy Steve Witkow immediately refuted Ukraine's attempt to declare a ceasefire. He believed that a ceasefire is no longer important today, because what needs to be discussed now is a comprehensive peace treaty. Trump also supported the peace treaty instead of the ceasefire agreement proposed by Ukraine. However, the White House did not reveal what consequences would arise if Zelenskyy refused Trump's plan.
