Russia will not establish new borders in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says at the Warsaw Security Forum.
Journalists asked the President if he was ready to make territorial concessions to end the war. In response, he reiterated that Ukraine's borders are defined by its constitution.
"Russia will not be drawing new borders in Ukraine," Zelenskyy says.
He also added that he is open to diplomatic negotiations. According to him, the main weapon Ukraine needs right now is unity, and he warned against attempts to divide Europe.
After meeting with Zelenskyy, US President Donald Trump wrote that Ukraine could regain all of its territories that were temporarily occupied by Russia. And, in his opinion, even go a little further.
Russia has already responded to Trump's words. In particular, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov fantasized that any statements and calculations that Ukraine will return to its 2022 borders are allegedly a form of political blindness.
Earlier, Zelenskyy clearly stated that the issue of territorial exchange would be discussed at a bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin.
