The discussion of possible territorial concessions in the war with the Russian Federation between the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and partners is a lie.
This is how Foreign Ministry Speaker Georgy Tikhy responded to the FT’s material about Kyiv’s alleged readiness for territorial compromises.
I attended every meeting of Foreign Minister Sibiga in New York and in none of them was there any proposal, discussion or even hint of any territorial compromises. On the contrary, the minister’s position is unshakable, and he has emphasized elements of it behind closed doors. There can be no compromises on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Tikhy said.
He noted that the Financial Times’ information about Andrei Sibiga’s discussion of compromises is untrue:
We wonder who is even interested in spreading such false narratives.
Today it became known about an article by the Financial Times, which reported that Sibiga, the new head of the Foreign Ministry, allegedly discussed with his partners the possibility of a compromise to resolve the war. Ukrainian officials, according to the publication, have allegedly become “more open” to a possible ceasefire agreement, even if they continue to occupy part of Ukrainian territory with the Russian Federation.
Ukraine is approaching the darkest moment of its war, Ukraine is increasingly open to discussing a ceasefire, even with Russian troops on the territory, says the FT
The publication writes that the new head of the Foreign Ministry was more pragmatic on this issue than his predecessor Kulebu.
Six months ago, such conversations were taboo, says one diplomat.
It is claimed that Ukrainian officials have become more “open to a possible ceasefire agreement.”
Previously, the OP stated that there is not a single plan to end the war that would include freezing the conflict or transferring territories to Russia. There is a plan for Vladimir Zelensky’s victory, but its details are not yet publicly known. They promise to present it to Ukrainians, albeit partially. About a third of Ukrainians believe that negotiations with the Russian Federation on ending the war are possible only after the liberation of all occupied territories, the survey showed.
