US EditionZelenskyy Floats Referendum Over Territory
Zelensky insists any land concessions must be decided by Ukrainians through a referendum, amid US pressure for peace terms involving territorial compromises.
- On Dec. 11, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated that any territorial solutions must be decided by the Ukrainian people via elections or a referendum as Kyiv handed revised proposals to the United States.
- In recent weeks, Washington has stepped up pressure by promoting a peace plan that would involve territorial concessions as Kyiv sent a 20-point counter-proposal after Washington circulated a 28-point plan last month.
- Ukraine holds roughly 6,600 square kilometers in Donetsk Oblast, and Zelenskyy said, "They discussed the issue of a 'free economic zone.' The Americans call it that, while the Russians refer to it as a 'demilitarized zone,'"
- Washington wants a full understanding by Christmas, Zelenskyy said, denying a US ultimatum; any peace framework would include security guarantees and rebuilding commitments, while European allies warned against forcing Kyiv into concessions.
- With tens of thousands killed and millions displaced, NATO chief Mark Rutte warned Europe could be Russia's next target, while Ukraine still controls around one-fifth of Donetsk region.
