"Zelenskyy confirmed the 161 km/h Starshield restriction in the occupied territories. And he expressed serious concern about who actually controlled the U.S. military contract. ‘Rubio said that Starshield is under the control of the U.S. government, but our team told me… that the current restrictions were imposed by SpaceX’" - The Economist journalist reported .
At the same time, according to Oliver Carroll’s report, "at yesterday’s briefing, Zelenskyy said that Putin was leading American negotiators into a dead end. ‘The Americans say that the war is ending, so let’s discuss a new security architecture for Europe. I believe that this idea has existed for many years. The Russians want to redistribute influence in Europe.’"
"He revealed that the Americans had proposed exchanging Donbas for NATO membership. ‘We are discussing security guarantees from NATO and the EU; a strong Ukrainian army. If the American side and our partners confirm precisely this to us, I will ask Ukrainian society what it thinks,’" - The Economist journalist Oliver Carroll reported .
"He said there was no clarity regarding what the Americans meant by guarantees ‘similar to Article 5’ and ‘similar to NATO,’" - Carroll noted.
"Meanwhile, Putin remains maximalist in his goals: ‘When he says something about state borders, he does not mean reducing Russia’s territory. There is no trust in our friend in the Kremlin. He is simply making American mediation much more difficult and delaying the end of the war,’" - the journalist pointed out .
