🇺🇦🇷🇺 Zelenskyy says Ukraine will not give up Donbas in exchange for peace deal with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy @ZelenskyyUa has stated that #Ukraine will not agree to surrender #Donbas in exchange for a peace agreement with Russia.

Zelenskyy said in an interview with Danish media outlet DR Nyheder.

According to him, the US side proposed handing over Donbas in exchange for NATO-like security guarantees.

However, Zelenskyy questioned what exactly these guarantees would entail and raised the issue of how Ukraine's security would be ensured if the country did not become a NATO member.

The President believes that if Ukraine withdraws from Donbas, Russia will not end the war but will merely pause it and could launch another attack in one, two or five years.

Zelenskyy emphasized that the fastest way to end the war would be to declare a ceasefire along the current front line and continue negotiations through diplomatic channels.
