Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be coming into Monday’s White House meeting with President Donald Trump with a demand that could be a dealbreaker in terms of reaching any lasting peace arrangement with Russia.
Zelensky said Sunday that Kyiv will not surrender territory not currently occupied by Russian forces as part of any peace deal, adding that Ukraine’s constitution forbids it.
“We need real negotiations,” Zelensky said to reporters in Brussels at a press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, per Just the News.
