Details
We cannot give up our territories. The Constitution of Ukraine forbids us to do this. De facto, these territories are now controlled by the Russians. We do not have the strength to return them. We can only count on diplomatic pressure from the international community to force Putin to sit down at the negotiating table
Also, Zelensky emphasized that none of the world leaders “has the right to hold negotiations with Putin without Ukraine.”
We will remind
Earlier, UNN wrote about Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s statement that Ukraine cannot legally recognize the occupied territories as Russian. But diplomatically, we need to achieve our goals – this is a stable, safe and faster peace for Ukraine.
