Zelenskyy: U.S. Demands Ukraine Withdraw Troops from Donbas

Speaking to Reuters, Zelenskyy said that Washington would only finalize the security agreement once Ukrainian forces have withdrawn from Donbas.

Zelenskyy attributed this U.S. stance partly to a shift in American priorities caused by the Middle East conflict.

Zelenskyy did not directly respond to whether Kyiv was prepared to take this step, merely stating that relinquishing Donbas would jeopardize the security of both Ukraine and Europe.
