The red line is simple and clear to everyone.

Ukraine has a red line that it will not cross. This includes the demand to withdraw troops from the territory of Donbass. This was stated by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyryl Budanov at the 18th Kyiv Security Forum.

"The red line is simple and clear to everyone. First: we are not giving anything away. This is not going to happen. No matter who is trying to do what. As for Donbass, we know a certain solution that will satisfy us first of all. And no one here has the right to trade land," Budanov quoted RBC-Ukraine.

He noted that Ukraine cannot be weak, because then no one will take it seriously. Now Ukrainians need to unite for the sake of the state's survival because "there will be no other options," he added.
