00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the US is linking security guarantees for a peace deal to Kiev, handing over the
00:08entire Donbass region to Russia.
00:10In an interview with Reuters, he says Washington focused on its conflict with Iran is pushing Ukraine to end the
00:17war quickly.
00:20Zelensky has repeatedly stressed that strong security guarantees are crucial to prevent Russia from resuming hostilities after any peace deal.
00:30Russian President Vladimir Putin has long insisted that full control of Donbass is central to Moscow's war objectives.
00:37But Zelensky warns that giving up the region would weaken Ukraine's security and create wider risks for Europe.
00:44He says the only way to resolve key issues like territory and guarantees is a three-way summit with Donald
00:50Trump and Putin.
00:51Zelensky also warned that Russia may be counting on the US losing interest if talks stall.
