President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine will never recognize the territories occupied by russia, as it contradicts the Constitution and is a violation of the state's sovereignty, UNN reports.
Regarding the red lines, I, as the President, and Ukrainians, as citizens of their country, will not violate our Constitution, but will protect sovereignty and our independence, protecting our people and our land. It is very difficult for us to fight against such an enemy. That's understandable. But today we are fighting for our independence. And therefore, we will not recognize any occupied territories of the russian federation. This is a fact. Our people fought for it, our heroes died. How many wounded, how much has been gone through. Therefore, no one will forget about it. When I say that no one will forget about it - this is the most important red line. We will not let anyone forget about this crime against Ukraine
