High-ranking officials from the US, Ukraine, and several European countries plan to meet this weekend in the UK. The goal is to coordinate a common position ahead of the planned meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin, three sources familiar with the plans told Axios.
The idea for the meeting arose after several phone calls between US, Ukrainian, and European officials.
Ukraine and its NATO allies are concerned that Trump may accept Putin's proposals for ending the war without considering their interests.
It is currently known that Putin has agreed to end the war if Ukraine relinquishes control over the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, as well as Crimea. Some negotiators also heard that Putin might abandon claims to the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
At the same time, Ukrainian officials note that they do not have full information about the Russian proposal and the US position.
As the publication notes, even if Zelensky agrees to some territorial concessions, he will have to hold a referendum, because according to the Constitution of Ukraine, territories cannot be given away without the will of the people.
