🇺🇦 Zelensky Rejects Territorial Concessions After Trump’s Russia Deal Hint
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ruled out giving any land to Russia, hours after Donald Trump suggested territorial concessions could be part of a peace deal.
Trump plans to meet Putin in Alaska on Aug 15 — their first talks since 2019 — sparking outrage in Kyiv after he floated “possible territorial swaps.”
Zelensky stressed Ukraine’s borders are non-negotiable, warning any deal without Ukraine’s consent would violate international law. Russia still occupies ~20% of Ukraine, with the war in a military stalemate since 2022.
The Alaska meeting will be closely watched as the world gauges whether U.S.-Russia talks could reshape the conflict’s future.
