The White House in Washington. File photoWASHINGTON, Jun 1The US will not force Kyiv to make any territorial concessions in negotiations with Moscow, a senior US administration official said at a briefing. «Negotiations between Ukraine and Russia have stalled not because Ukraine refused diplomacy. The Russians, in fact, showed no interest in negotiations in good faith. So we will not put pressure on the Ukrainian government, forcing it to make any territorial concessions — be it private conversations or public contacts, «- said a White House official.
