The ongoing war in Ukraine has led to complex negotiations involving the U.S. administration, which are complicated by fundamental disagreements between Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. Ukraine asserts that all of its territorial claims, as defined before 2014, must be respected, rejecting any Russian-occupied land in negotiations. President Zelensky emphasized at the Munich Security Conference that Ukraine would never recognize Russian claims over its territory, indicating a firm stance against any potential agreements that do not restore its sovereignty completely. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Russia have said Ukraine will be part of discussions, but what that entails remains unclear.
Legally, we will never recognize these territories as 'Russian' or 'non-Russian' or anything else. I say clearly: The territories are ours.
The Trump administration's attempt to negotiate a peace deal faces significant challenges as the countries involved still have fundamentally differing views on the terms.
