When asked whether, in addition to a ceasefire and a peace agreement, there is already talk about technical nuances regarding the territory, Witkoff replied: "Well... what I'm saying, technical... what I'm saying is that a ceasefire implies how to make people not fight each other on a border of 2,000 kilometers".
"It also does not include the main area of confrontation, which is Kursk. And therefore, there are different conditions on the battlefield. We need to discuss this. There are regions that, as we all know, are focused on by the Russians. There is a nuclear reactor (ZNPP) that supplies a lot of electricity to Ukraine. This needs to be addressed. There is access to ports. There is a potential Black Sea agreement, there is... there is just... there are so many elements... for the implementation of a ceasefire here...", Witkoff noted.
"What they are doing is digging in, and everyone is obliged, all stakeholders, including the Europeans, to do everything we need to do to achieve a successful solution to the problem," Trump's special representative said.
