Russia's demands before the meeting between Putin and Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the unwavering will of the state to keep its territory intact. During the meeting between Putin and Trump, it feels as if Russia may demand Ukraine to abandon the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
