The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky asked not to say that Kiev was provoked a conflict with Russia. This was reported by UNIAN.
He stressed that he respects the fact that US President Donald Trump seeks peace, but it should not be said that Ukraine has begun.
"I think it is painful for our people to hear this," Zelensky concluded.
Prior to that, the President of the Republic stated that Ukraine still wants to achieve "peace throughout peace" together with the United States.
The American newspaper The New York Times also wrote that the majority of EU leaders agree that Kiev should compromise a territorial compromise.
Earlier, Trump said that Russia is ready to sign a peace agreement on Ukraine. The US President called the main obstacle to the position of Vladimir Zelyansky, with which he thought it would be "easier." Although Diplomatic efforts and allies, Kiev rejected the main proposals of Washington, including the possible proposals of recognition of Crimea as part of Russia.
