Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to whether he is prepared to cede territory for the signing of a peace agreement with the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, according to his interview with the British television channel Channel 4 News.

"Can you ever imagine signing a peace paper with Vladimir Putin that involves you saying goodbye to Crimea or to Donbas?" the journalist asked.

The President of Ukraine responded that the Russian dictator should be stopped to prevent a repetition of aggression in a few years.

"No. If we want to stop him, if the world wants not to come this back again, this aggression, in some years, better to manage it," replied Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Earlier, the President of Ukraine stated that relations between Ukraine and Great Britain do not depend on who is in power.

Also, the Prime Minister of the German state of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, advised Ukraine to accept the temporary loss of territories for the sake of a ceasefire with Russia. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded.
