JAKARTA - Ukraine is likely to agree to release and withdraw its troops from the Donbass region as part of its war peace efforts with Russia.
This was said by two sources who are advisers to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to The Atlantic magazine, quoted by Tass, Friday, February 13.
Two of Zelensky's advisers said he was "probably ready to accept the toughest concession of all: giving up control over territory" in Donbass to legitimize a peace compromise with Russia.
According to the source, the Kiev government is considering the possibility of holding a referendum this spring.
Still based on The Atlantic's report, a number of members of Zelensky's circle are concerned about the dwindling chances of peace.
However, Zelensky told The Atlantic that he would rather reject all points of the peace proposal than accept a bad reality.
In this case, he said Zelensky was ready for peace on the condition of a ceasefire and security guarantees.
Furthermore, Zelensky said it was necessary to immediately finalize an agreement on security guarantees between the United States and Ukraine. He emphasized that, to date, the fundamental questions regarding the document have still not been answered, so the peace agreement still needs to be thought about first unless the document is "100 percent ready" to be signed by Ukraine.
