Yermak outlines Ukraine’s “red lines” in peace negotiations

Head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak, outlined Ukraine’s “red lines” which it will never agree to cross. The United States is not urging Ukraine to make territorial concessions or to abandon NATO, taking into account Kyiv’s position on ending the war.

He said this in an interview with the publication RBC-Ukraine.

"The position of the Americans is to end this war. But everything that appears in the information space may belong to one side or the other. There is a clear, consistent Ukrainian position. With red lines. These red lines are not just some wishes,” he said.

According to him, in all the documents that Ukraine has presented — from President Zelenskyy’s Peace Formula, from the victory plan to the internal resilience plan — all of this is 100% based on what is declaratively respected by all countries in the world.

“Let’s be realistic — we are in a war. And this war, sooner or later, will end anyway. Any negotiations begin with a ceasefire, and any war still ends with negotiations. Negotiations exist precisely to discuss all the issues that need to be addressed to stop the war. I would pay more attention to the absolutely clear, consistent position of Ukraine — the position of President Zelenskyy — which does not change; it remains very honest, open, and principled,” he added.
