“If we want to stop this war and to go to peace negotiations, urgently and in a diplomatic way, we need to stay where we stay, not to give something additional to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin because he wants — because he’s a terrorist.” ~ Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukraine does not plan to surrender any unoccupied territories to Russia as part of peace agreement to end the full-scale war, President Volodymyr Zelensky told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview broadcast on Oct. 19.
The comments come shortly after Zelensky’s latest White House meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, who called on Russia and Ukraine to end the war immediately “at the battle line.”
“I understand that we have to finish this war ... from the place where soldiers stay, from the contact line, as I understood correctly,” Zelensky told NBC’s Kristen Welker, on the same day as his meeting with Trump.
