EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas commented on the Financial Times article that US President Donald Trump, at a Friday meeting, urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept the terms of the Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. Kallas emphasized the resilience of Ukrainians and that it would be a negative signal for the international order if an aggressor gets what they want, writes UNN.
Ukrainians are very resilient. They are fighting for their freedom, their independence, their country, so they cannot just give up. And I think that for the international order, it is also negative if an aggressor gets what they want, because it sends a signal to all aggressors in the world that you can just go and take what you want.

The Financial Times, citing sources, reported that Donald Trump on October 17 urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to agree to Moscow's terms for ending the war, citing Putin's threats to "destroy" Ukraine. The US President, according to media reports, insisted on transferring control over Donbas and repeated the Kremlin's arguments.
Later, Trump assured, commenting on the October 17 negotiations, that he had never discussed with Zelenskyy the possible transfer of Donbas to Russia and indicated that he believes that "they should just stop at the line where they are, at the front line."
