Two advisors to President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine "may be ready to make the most difficult concession: Abandoning territorial control" in Donbass.
To legitimize the compromise at this level, Kiev is considering the possibility of holding a referendum this spring.
According to an article in The Atlantic, some members of President Zelensky's close circle are concerned that the opportunity to achieve peace is gradually narrowing.
However, Mr. Zelensky told the magazine that he would rather not reach any agreement than accept a bad agreement. The Ukrainian leader once again affirmed his willingness to move towards peace on the basis of a ceasefire and security assurances.
At the same time, Mr. Zelensky admitted that an agreement on security assurance between the US and Ukraine has not yet been finalized and the core issues related to this document have not yet been resolved.
