Zelensky Declares Ukraine Will Not Surrender Any Territory to Russia
ByDNN Post
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Ukraine will not cede “even an inch” of territory currently occupied by Russian forces. The declaration reinforces Ukraine’s commitment to territorial integrity amid ongoing conflict.
Zelensky’s remarks come as international discussions about potential peace negotiations continue. He has consistently opposed any territorial concessions to Russia, arguing that such moves would only encourage further aggression.
Russian forces currently occupy significant portions of Ukraine following military operations that began in early 2022. Ukrainian leadership maintains that all occupied territories must be returned for any lasting peace agreement.
Western allies have supported Ukraine’s stance, providing military and economic assistance to bolster its defense efforts. Ukrainian forces continue counteroffensive operations across multiple front lines despite harsh winter conditions and logistical challenges.
The president’s firm position on territorial sovereignty may complicate future diplomatic initiatives, as Russia claims permanent control over occupied regions. NATO and European leaders continue to back Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial claims.
