The White House is pressuring Ukraine to accept Russian control of the Donbass region of East Ukraine in order to acquire security guarantees from the United States in the future, reports the Financial Times.
Washington has also suggested it would offer additional weapons to strengthen Ukraine’s postwar military, but only if Kyiv accepts territorial concessions as the price of ending the war, according to two of the sources.
However, Washington is now indicating that its commitments depend on Ukraine reaching an accommodation with Russia. A senior Ukrainian official said it was increasingly unclear whether the US would ultimately sign the guarantees.
“They stop each time the security guarantees can be signed,” the official said.
The US has floated proposals for a withdrawal to create a “free economic zone,” initially suggesting a demilitarised area overseen by Russia’s security forces. After pushback from Kyiv and European allies, Washington accepted the idea of a neutral international force instead.
Zelenskyy has shown limited openness to the concept, but only if the territory remains internationally recognised as Ukrainian and Russian forces pull back equally.
The Donbass region of East Ukraine is rich in minerals and other natural resources, including natural gas. Tsarizm reported years ago that the Biden regime was active in attempting to secure revenue streams from this region and the war was essentially over control of the area, not freedom for Ukraine, as presented in Western propaganda.
The area historically was Russian-speaking and approximately 14,000 people were killed in ethnic cleansing of the area before the Russian invasion.
