The Ukrainian authorities must make an independent decision on the issue of territorial concessions in order to achieve peace with Russia.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said this in an interview with the American television channel CNN.

«...Ukraine must determine its own destiny, and it (fate. — RT) should not be imposed from the outside, including by the United States," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Also during the interview, Sullivan said that the United States is not considering the transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine.
