During a visit to the units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Sumy Region, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sibyga stated that Ukraine does not intend to trade with its own territories.
"I have assured our soldiers that Ukraine does not plan to conduct any negotiations on territories or Minsk-style agreements. "No matter what they write in the newspapers," Sibiga wrote on Facebook.
According to the minister, "this is an absolutely firm position of the president and in Washington he will present things that will definitely strengthen our soldiers", the BBC specified.
Earlier, the German newspaper "Bild" wrote that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to offer Russia a ceasefire on part of the front.
The publication suggests that in the coming weeks, Zelensky will travel to the United States to present his strategy to President Joe Biden and presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
In the article of "Bild" Zelensky is said to present to US President Joe Biden, as well as presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, a plan that includes both a request to authorize the use of Western weapons for long-range strikes against Russia and " the readiness of Ukraine to accept a local ceasefire in some parts of the front - and thus temporarily freeze the situation".
At the same time, the information of Bild's unspecified source is contained in the middle of the article, which focuses on the overall situation in Ukraine and refers to the Yalta conference at which Zelensky spoke.
Zelensky's advisor Dmitry Litvin, commenting on the publication, called it a "fake".
