«No ultimatums, no one will surrender their lands, their people, their homes. If Russia sets conditions to withdraw our troops from our land — it means they do not want the war to end. Because they clearly understand that Ukraine will not do this», — Zelensky is quoted by «Ukrainian Pravda».
At the same time, he stated that Kyiv is considering the possibility of meeting once again with all teams — the USA, Ukraine, Russia, and European countries, such negotiations could take place in Turkey, the Vatican, or Switzerland.
«I asked President Trump that no decision concerning Ukraine should be made without Ukraine's consent», — added Zelensky.
He also responded to the question about Ukraine's «neutral» status, as demanded by Russia. «Ukraine has a status, it is in the country's Constitution — everything is written there», — stated Zelensky.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz wrote on the social network X that the USA and Europe are united in supporting Ukraine on the path to a ceasefire.
«Europe will increase pressure on Moscow through sanctions. We agreed on this with the US President after his conversation with Putin», — stated Merz.
