Published on 8.9.25

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected Russia's demands for peace, stating that Ukraine's involvement is necessary for a sustainable agreement. He urged his allies, including US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to take concrete steps towards peace. Zelenskyy warned that decisions without Ukraine would be ineffective and that the country will not surrender its land to Russia. The comments come ahead of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week.
