However, Kyiv is not obliged to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Ukraine needs to reduce the size of its army and abandon long-range weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In return, the United States, in response to Ukraine&#8217;s acceptance of the demands, pledges to protect against further aggression from Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To support the initiative, Trump&#8217;s special envoy Steve Witkoff planned to visit Ankara and hold a trilateral meeting with Zelensky and the Turkish Foreign Minister.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the meeting was canceled when the US realized that the terms of the deal would be unacceptable to the Ukrainian president. Zelensky, in turn, was heading to Turkey with other proposals prepared in cooperation with Europe, which the Russian side would not accept, the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, a Ukrainian official said the discussions were postponed due to Zelensky&#8217;s request to hold the meeting in a broader format, involving European countries.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, according to a US official, the cancellation is related to the corruption scandal that recently erupted in Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Now we will wait.
