A senior Ukrainian official said that for Kiev, security guarantees are more important than the territorial issue in the context of possible truce talks amid Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, the New York Times reports.

The width of the demilitarized zone will also be important for Kiev, the newspaper adds.

According to the newspaper, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Roman Kostenko said that negotiations should be based on guarantees, since "nothing is more important for Ukraine." At the same time, he noted that Kiev would not officially abandon claims to territories under the control of the Russian Federation, the publication indicates.

Donald Trump had previously promised that he would be able to achieve a negotiated settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.
