Ukraine, Russia, and the USA at the negotiating table. Media: The White House wanted the partition of Donbas

The US proposed a plan to redraw the borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions to allow Russia to claim victory while minimizing Ukraine's territorial losses. This plan was rejected by Ukraine, which firmly stated it would not accept any territorial concessions. The negotiations in Abu Dhabi aim to address the ongoing conflict, but Ukraine's expectations remain low due to concerns over potential agreements. The proposal has been criticized as unrealistic, with significant territorial losses for Ukraine being unacceptable.
