Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday reaffirmed that his country will not surrender any of its territory, insisting that Ukraine’s constitution prohibits making concessions on sovereign land.
“Ukrainians will not give their land to occupiers,” Zelenskyy said in a statement, underscoring his government’s firm stance amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.
His remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15. Zelenskyy said Ukraine remained open to “real solutions” that could bring peace but warned against agreements made without Kyiv’s participation.
The planned Trump–Putin meeting is expected to draw significant international attention as the war in Ukraine enters its third year, with battles continuing along multiple frontlines and diplomatic efforts stalled.
