Zelensky on territory exchange with Russia: what will happen to Donbas

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, rejected Russia's demands for the complete handover of the Donetsk region, emphasizing the importance of Donbas for Ukraine. He also stated the critical significance of Crimea for the country and highlighted his readiness to meet with Putin to end the war, not agreeing to territorial concessions that would violate the laws and territorial integrity of the country.

The Ukrainian president stresses the importance of peace and the inevitability of resolving the conflict with Russia through diplomatic efforts. A meeting with Putin is planned in a neutral country to discuss territorial issues exclusively between the Ukrainian and Russian leaders.
