CNN: Zelensky Faces Dilemma in US Over Territorial Concessions

According to a CNN analysis, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faces a "nearly impossible dilemma" in the US regarding potential territorial concessions.

Increasingly, it seems likely that Zelensky will be asked to cede territory in exchange for security guarantees. Crimea and Donetsk are mentioned as potential areas for concession.

CNN raises questions about the reliability of security guarantees from the US in the event of a violation of a peace agreement by Russia. It also wonders whether Donald Trump would halt support for Ukraine if he refused to cede territory, and whether European allies could fill the gap.

Zelensky is called upon to decide whether he could secure his country's support for territorial concessions or whether he will face the consequences of refusing, such as the potential cessation of US support.
