“We are adequate people and we cannot lose millions of people for the sake of a result that is not yet certain,” Zelensky said.
Yes, we know that these are temporarily occupied territories, so they are temporary, and therefore, legally, despite the Marshall Law and despite the wishes of Putin and others, we will never recognize these territories as Russian. This is not a question of compromise or not compromise. There can be no compromise on the issue of state sovereignty
According to Zelenskyy, the current military support from partners is not enough to fully liberate the occupied territories, but this does not mean that Ukraine will give them up. He also emphasized that the return of the territories is possible through a combined approach - military pressure at the front and diplomatic efforts.
Unfortunately, the support provided by our partners is not enough to allow us to completely push Putin out of our territories. We will return. Yes, it may be a combined approach... We have not violated any aspect of international law, and in any case, we are absolutely right in this situation, so everything will return
“There will be no legal compromises on the territories. As for other things, I will be frank. If someone asks what Ukraine is ready for, Ukraine is ready, first of all, for the end of the hot phase of the war. We will not be what no one in the world wants, because let's be honest,” the Head of State added.
