Zelenskyi said that Ukraine cannot return its territories by military means

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, once again spoke about the prospects for the return of the territories that were occupied by Russia. In his latest statement, he emphasized that Ukraine does not have the opportunity to return its lands exclusively by military means, although the struggle for sovereignty continues.

"We cannot give up our territories. The Constitution of Ukraine forbids us to do this. De facto, these territories are now controlled by the Russians. We do not have the strength to return them. We can only count on diplomatic pressure from the international community to force Putin to sit down at the negotiating table," the president said in an interview with Le Parisien.

When asked about his readiness to sit down at the negotiating table with Putin, he did not rule out such a possibility. But he said that first it is necessary to develop a "peace plan".

"It is not important who is in front of you. It is important in what state you are negotiating. I don't think we're in a weak position, but we're not in a strong position either. Are we in NATO? We don't know. Will we be part of the European Union? Yes, in the future, but when? Sitting down at the negotiating table with Putin under such conditions would mean giving him the right to decide everything in our part of the world. First we need to develop a model, an action plan or a peace plan, whatever you want to call it. Then we will be able to present it to Putin or, in a broader sense, to Russians," Zelensky said.

The day before, Zelensky told Trump that he did not want to "rush" the end of the war.
