Ukraine refuses to fulfill Russia's condition and withdraw troops from the territory of Donbass, fearing to remain defenseless before new attacks, The Washington Post writes, citing a source.
"If Putin captures Donbass, he will have an open road all the way to Odessa," he said.
Earlier it was reported that at a meeting in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered his American counterpart Donald Trump the option of freezing the front line in Kherson and Zaporozhye regions in exchange for the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the DPR and LPR. Earlier, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, according to Reuters, refused to retreat from Donbass.
On August 14, the Ministry of Communities and Territories of Ukraine added Odessa to the list of territories where military operations are underway or possible.
