JUST IN: Zelenskyy Backs Trump Ceasefire Plan, But Won’t Cede Territory – Newsmax
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stood firm in his positions, agreeing to a ceasefire proposed by President Donald Trump while reaffirming the country’s refusal to abandon seeking NATO membership and rejecting acknowledgment of Russia’s annexation of any of its regions.
Russia says a peace treaty should have Ukraine declare its neutral status between Russia and the West, abandon its bid to join NATO, limit the size of its armed forces, and recognize Russian as an official language on par with Ukrainian– conditions reflecting Putin’s earliest goals.
