Officials from the US and European countries have come to understand the need for Ukraine to renounce its territories in favor of the Russian Federation.
This was reported by the American publication The Washington Post, citing sources.
What WP writes about the US and Europe's recognition of the need for territorial concessions from Kyiv
According to WP, US officials admit that within a few months Ukraine will be forced to start negotiations and give up the territories.
The decision by US President Joseph Biden to strike deep into Russia, the publication notes, is intended to strengthen Kyiv's position in the negotiations.
As WP sources in the Biden administration told us, discussions of this measure began at the end of October, and the White House made the final decision after Donald Trump's victory in the election.
The publication's sources also reported that the outgoing administration has resigned itself to the fact that Trump may stop providing aid to Ukraine.
Currently, Washington and its European partners in the North Atlantic Alliance are doing everything possible to strengthen Ukraine before Trump returns to the White House.
There is a tacit recognition among Ukraine's European allies that the negotiations may require Kiev to cede some territory to Russia, the publication says.
For reference
Ukraine is a country in Eastern and Central Europe.
