Anna Kelly, deputy press secretary of the White House, called the media publications claiming that the U.S. is ready to provide Ukraine with security guarantees only in exchange for the withdrawal of its troops from Donbas false.

Details: She noted that this news is "lies" that could harm the progress made in the peace process.
Quote from Kelly: "This is absolutely false — the only goal of the U.S. in the peace process is to bring both sides together to reach an agreement. It is unfortunate that the Financial Times allows anonymous sources to spread falsehoods that could harm the peace process, which is currently in good shape after the historic trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi this weekend."
Additional information: A source familiar with the U.S. position told the Financial Times that Washington "is not trying to impose any territorial concessions on Ukraine." Security guarantees from the U.S. depend on the willingness of both sides to reach a peace agreement, and its content is determined only by Russia and Ukraine.
