Zelenskyy Demands Concrete Action for Peace in Ukraine

Published on 8.9.25

  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged his allies to take concrete steps towards sustainable peace in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any potential agreement. He rejected US President Donald Trump's suggestion that Ukraine would 'gift' land to Russia as part of a ceasefire deal, citing the Ukrainian Constitution and stating that Ukrainians will not deviate from their territorial integrity. Zelenskyy warned that decisions without Ukraine would be ineffective and that a lasting peace can only be achieved with Ukrainian participation. The comments come ahead of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week, which has yet to yield results due to significant differences between Russia and Ukraine's positions.
