Ukraine must not accept U.S. proposal as it's akin to 'capitulation', German minister says
BERLIN, April 27 (Reuters) - German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Sunday that Ukraine should not agree to U.S. President Donald Trump's latest proposal that it cede swathes of territory in return for a ceasefire with Russia as it would be akin to a "capitulation".
Kyiv obviously knows it might need to part with some territory to reach a sustainable ceasefire that is agreed in good faith, Pistorius told German public broadcaster ARD.
"But they will certainly not go as far - or should not go as far - as the latest proposal by the American president", said Pistorius, who is likely to remain defence minister in the new German coalition government.
"Ukraine on its own could have got a year ago what was included in that (Trump) proposal, it is akin to a capitulation. I cannot discern any added value," Pistorius added.
