Presidential Office responds to Trump's plan for Ukraine

Ukraine is not ready to compromise with Russia and give up any territory to end the war, said the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak. He was responding to a question about US presidential candidate Donald Trump's statement that he could quickly end the war.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Reuters.

During a visit to Washington, Yermak told reporters that Kyiv would listen to any advice on how to achieve a "just peace." "But we are (not) ready to compromise on very important things and values... independence, freedom, democracy, territorial integrity, sovereignty," he said.

Asked how Ukraine assesses Trump's statement that he will handle the war, Yermak said: "To be honest, I don't know. We'll see."

Ukraine will insist that the new administration continue to support it, the OP said, adding that Ukraine already has the support of two parties and the American people.

"It will be ... the decision of the American people. We will respect this choice," Yermak said of the November 5 presidential election.
