Washington plans to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski to make territorial concessions to Russia in an effort to end the war. According to *The New York Times*, US President’s special envoy Steve Whitcoff will deliver this proposal in Oslo, where he is scheduled to meet with Zelenski on Tuesday. The newspaper reports President Donald Trump, determined to impose a peace deal on Ukraine, is attempting to persuade Zelenski that retaining control of Russian-occupied parts of Donbas is not worth the effort. This move signals a shift in approach, pushing Ukraine towards potentially relinquishing sovereignty over already lost territory. The proposal reflects Trump's desire for a swift resolution to the conflict, even if it means compromising Ukraine’s territorial integrity. This development is likely to draw significant criticism from those who advocate for Ukraine’s full restoration of its borders.
