Zelenskyy: 'Ukraine willing to compromise over status of Donbass region'

Ukraine is willing to become neutral and compromise over the status of the eastern Donbass region as part of a peace deal with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday, according to Reuters.

Zelenskyy took his message directly to Russian journalists in a video call that the Kremlin pre-emptively warned Russian media not to report, saying any agreement must be guaranteed by third parties and put to a referendum.
