Zelensky on Trump and Putin meeting: Ukrainians 'will not give their land to the occupier'

After the news of the upcoming meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting in Alaska, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine won't be ceding any land.

Trump suggested there could be "swapping of territories" as part of a deal to end the war in Ukraine.

Ukraine “will not give Russia any awards for what it has done," Zelensky said on Telegram. “Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.”

Zelensky posted a video on X after the announcement of the meeting.

"Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace. Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace," the post said. "They will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They are unworkable decisions. And we all need real and genuine peace. Peace that people will respect."
