Zelensky: We are ready – we will give up

In return, the Ukrainian leader and his European allies insist on security guarantees &ldquo;similar to Article 5&rdquo; from Europe and the United States, referring to NATO&rsquo;s core principle that an attack on one member state should be considered an attack on all, The Guardian writes.It remains unclear whether Moscow would accept these conditions.Zelensky arrived in the United States this morning, where he is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida.The two leaders are expected to discuss the two biggest stumbling blocks to concluding a peace agreement: control over the Donbas territory, which Moscow claims, and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that he wants the entire Donbas, and that if Kyiv does not relinquish it, Moscow will &ldquo;take it by force.&rdquo;&ldquo;Either we will liberate these territories by force, or Ukrainian troops will leave these territories,&rdquo; Putin told India Today. Moscow controls about 85 percent of Donbas.&ldquo;It can be resolved before the New Year&rdquo;Zelensky reiterated that Kyiv has done everything to end the war with Russia, but that securing peace will ultimately depend on its partners.&ldquo;These are some of the most active diplomatic days of the year, and a great deal can be resolved before the New Year. We are doing everything for that, but whether there will be decisions depends on our partners,&rdquo; Zelensky wrote on the Telegram app.He added that Ukraine&rsquo;s partners should increase pressure on Moscow &ldquo;so that the Russians feel the consequences of their own aggression.&rdquo;
