19.10.2025The Day Trump Demanded Ukraine Cede Donbas to Russia
On October 19, 2025, Ukrainian media heavily focused on continued diplomatic efforts, particularly President Trump's stance on military aid and a potential meeting with Putin. Morning reports cited an expert warning of Kremlin manipulation after a Tomahawk rejection and Trump's return to earlier views on Russia. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces were reported to have struck Russian oil and gas facilities, with ongoing combat engagements, especially in the Pokrovsk sector.

The afternoon saw President Zelenskyy express readiness to meet Trump and Putin in Budapest, though Trump suggested Putin would not end the conflict without gaining Ukrainian territory. By evening, reports from FT (cited by Liga.net, UNIAN, and Glavcom) emerged that Trump had vehemently urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia's terms and cede the entire Donbas region to Putin, under threats of "destruction" for Ukraine. Power outages were also anticipated across Ukraine.
