Zelensky Stands Firm Against Russia's Territorial Demands Amid Trump's Peace Plan Push

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reaffirmed his country's unwavering stance against ceding any land to Russia, sparking a fresh row with US President Donald Trump's Ukraine peace plan. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine will not compromise on territory, citing the country's laws, constitution, and international obligations that prohibit concessions. The Ukrainian leader's stance comes as Trump's envoys have given Zelensky an ultimatum to respond to the proposed peace deal within 'days'. The plan allegedly requires Ukraine to accept territorial losses in exchange for US security guarantees. Zelensky, however, remains resolute, stating that his country does not have the moral right to cede territory. In a separate development, Zelensky is currently in Europe, meeting with European leaders to discuss the peace process. His talks with Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni and other European leaders focused on developing robust security guarantees to prevent future aggression and pressuring Russia to join the negotiating table in good faith. As the diplomatic row escalates, Zelensky's determination to protect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity remains unwavering. The Ukrainian President's stance has sparked a fresh debate on the feasibility of Trump's peace plan, which has been met with skepticism from many quarters.
