US EditionRubio Denies Zelenskyy’s Claim that the U.S. Asked Ukraine to Cede Land to Russia for Security Deal
Rubio refutes Zelenskyy’s claim, stating the US relayed Russia’s demands but made no conditions linking security guarantees to Ukraine’s Donbas withdrawal.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied Friday that the US demanded Ukraine cede the Donbas region to Russia to receive security guarantees, rejecting recent assertions by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
- In an interview published this week, Zelenskyy told Reuters that Washington made security guarantees contingent on ceding Donbas, the industrial heartland that Russian President Vladimir Putin has long sought.
- Rubio clarified the US role, stating, "It's not for us to make for them," while explaining the US attempts to bridge the middle ground between both sides.
- Zelenskyy warned that Kyiv will face shortages of Patriot systems because Washington redirects military resources toward its conflict against Iran, creating tensions over competing priorities.
- Rubio emphasized an "America First" defense policy, stating no weapons have been diverted from Ukraine sales yet, though resources could be reallocated if deemed necessary for American interests.
