Zelenskyy Rejects Territorial Concessions in Push for Peace. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country will not give up any territory to Russia, even as the Trump administration pushes to finalize a peace agreement - According to Politico. Speaking in London after meeting leaders from France, Germany and the U.K., Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine has “no right to hand anything over” — legally, internationally, or morally. His remarks follow increasing pressure from Washington to accept a peace framework that would end more than three years of intensified conflict. A leaked early draft of that proposal sparked concern in Kyiv, across Europe, and among U.S. lawmakers because it mirrored several Russian demands, including Ukraine relinquishing the Donbas region and ruling out joining NATO. Talks have since stalled, as Trump’s team continues to insist that Kyiv must cede eastern territory. Zelenskyy said Ukrainian officials held serious but difficult discussions with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, calling the talks constructive. He added that both sides coordinated on security guarantees, reconstruction plans, and next steps. Trump told reporters the Kremlin is satisfied with the latest peace plan — but claimed Zelenskyy “isn’t ready.” The Ukrainian leader will now head to Brussels for further meetings with NATO and EU officials.
