Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected proposals suggesting Ukraine should cede territory to Russia as part of a peace deal. This stance comes in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion of a potential peace agreement involving "some swapping of territories" between the two countries ahead of a planned Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. Zelensky emphasized that the question of Ukraine's territorial integrity is settled in the country's constitution and that Ukrainians will not give up their land to occupiers. He specifically ruled out withdrawing Ukrainian troops from the eastern Donbas region, warning that such a move would enable Russia to launch further offensives into other Ukrainian regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv. Zelensky also insisted that Kyiv must be included in any negotiations concerning Ukraine's territory. European leaders have expressed support for Ukraine's sovereignty and have been urged by Zelensky to reject any proposals involving Ukrainian territorial concessions, although he acknowledged that Russia might retain some of the land it has already seized. Zelensky stated, "I am not going to surrender my country because I have no right to do so," underscoring his commitment to maintaining Ukraine's territorial integrity despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
