Territories in exchange for peace: that the Armed Forces fighters think of territorial concessions of

To spread: the loss of Donetsk region, the area that is strongly fortified against Russia, will open up new directions for further advance - Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporozhye, which are not well fortified, the Ukrainian military considers. The Ukrainian military on the forefront do not believe in the protection of allies of Ukraine from Russia and do not want to give Russia territories for which so many lives were given.

About it writes the edition of The Guardian, whose journalists spoke with the fighters on the front line. Fighters admit that they do not watch political news, but do not particularly trust US President Donald Trump because they believe that he supports Russia. For example, Denis Brizizy, a battalion commander, a 32-year-old former law student, says he is "out of politics" when he is asked if there is a price that Ukraine has to pay for peace.

He believes that the transfer of the rest of Donetsk region at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin, can be a long -term disaster for Ukraine. "The loss of Donetsk region, a district that is strongly fortified against Russia, will simply open up new directions for further promotion - Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, which are not well fortified. It will be a huge and terrible loss of positions," the commander warns.

The Guardian notes that the Ukrainian army does not consider itself close to defeat. A fighter with a call sign "puma", originally from Russia -occupied Lugansk, survived after two wounds in the chest during a reconnaissance surgery in 2016, his life rescued his bulletproof vest. He continues to participate in the most dangerous form of intelligence against Russian invaders: on Earth. "Puma" says that he considers diplomatic talks with a distracting factor.

Another colleague, Optimus, is more straightforward. "What is the point of giving the Donetsk region of Russia? After all the victims we brought, the people we lost? Recall that during a visit to Washington, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not exclude the possibility of territorial concessions, but at the same time emphasized Donald Trump on compliance with the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine.
