According to him, the opinions of Kyiv and Washington are the same on the issue of ending the conflict, goals and what compromises can not be.

Yermak also said that there will be no compromises between the Ukrainian authorities and the Russian leadership "regarding independence, territorial integrity, sovereignty."
