Eight sources familiar with the negotiations said that the Trump administration hinted to Kyiv that it would have to agree to a peace deal that would involve giving up the eastern Donbas region.
Washington also noted that it could offer Ukraine more weapons to strengthen its army after the war if Kyiv agrees.

"The only role of the US in the peace process is to bring both sides together to reach an agreement," she said.
The Office of the President of Ukraine did not respond to a request for comment.
