Russia agreed to concessions about five regions of Ukraine - Vitcoff

To spread: US President Donald Trump Representative Steve Witcoff said Russia had compromised five regions in Ukraine and called the "breakthrough" agreements of Washington and Moscow on security guarantees for Kiev. The United States has agreed with Russia on serious security guarantees, which can be described as changing the rules of the game, - said in an interview with CNN specialist of American President Steve Witcoff.

According to him, no one could have thought that the parties would be so close to the Protection Agreement under Article 5 by the United States, hinting at the point of NATO's collective defense, according to which an attack on the Alliance's state automatically becomes aggression against the entire block.

In addition, after the codification of the peace agreement, the Russian Federation will oblige not to encroach in other territories of Ukraine and legislatively consolidate the obligation not to attack other European countries and not to violate their sovereignty. The US Presidential Special Special Special Special Special Specialist has made concessions about five regions of Ukraine, but did not specify more specifically.

"I am not sure that we have time now to consider all the various issues in these 5 regions," Vitcoff noted, emphasizing the question on the possible delivery of the Russian Federation of all Donbass as a result of a "territorial agreement". At the same time, Trump's special settlement noted that the concessions that Russia agreed to be not to capture the whole of Ukraine completely.

Most likely, "concessions about 5 regions" mean the consent of the Kremlin from Sumy, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions and "freezing" of fighters on the front lines in Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. Now "the decision remains for Kiev," Vitcoff said, adding that on Monday, August 18, Donald Trump will discuss the issues of territories at a meeting with Zelensky in Washington.
