Speaking in Dublin, Volodymyr Zelensky said he would never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory. He made the statement during the European Political Community summit.
Zelensky referred to the US-mediated negotiations with Moscow, realitatea.md reports. He stressed that the US proposals on territorial issues were unacceptable to the government in Kyiv.
“If someone in the US makes a decision that effectively treats Ukrainian territory as though it were not Ukrainian, that shows where things are heading. We must stand firm and never, under any circumstances, recognize the Russian occupation,” said Volodymyr Zelensky.
In recent weeks, the press has reported that Washington proposed redrawing the borders of the annexed Ukrainian regions so that Russia could regard them as fully captured and under its control. Kyiv reportedly rejected the idea.
