We did not discuss this today. Everyone understands, including US President Donald Trump, that when it comes to territories, this is a matter for the Ukrainian President. He should discuss it in a trilateral format, and also, probably, in further negotiations with Vladimir Putin.
He emphasized that an understanding was reached between the leaders: in order to talk about any territories, security guarantees must be defined. According to the NATO Secretary General, all coalition countries must agree on what these guarantees will mean.
