The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, recorded an appeal this morning, on August 9, where he stated that Ukraine would not give up the territory. This is how he reacted to the news about the meeting of the presidents of Russia and Ukraine in Alaska, as a result of which, allegedly, Ukraine can withdraw troops from the Donetsk region.
"The answer to the Ukrainian territorial issue is already in the The Constitution of Ukraine. No one will and will not be able to retreat from this. Ukrainians will not give up their land to the occupier," he said. "Ukraine is ready for real solutions that can bring peace. Any decisions against us, any decisions without Ukraine are decisions against the world at the same time. They won't give you anything. These are dead solutions, they will never work. And we all need a real, living world that people will respect. We are ready, together with President Trump, together with all partners, to work for a real and, most importantly, lasting peace — a peace that will not collapse because of Moscow's desire."
He also said that the meeting between Putin and Trump in Alaska is taking place "very far from Ukraine".
"Of course, we will not give Russia a reward for what it has done… Ukrainians will not donate their land to the occupier," Zelensky said.
