Zelenskyy: Territorial Control Key to Peace Talks

Politics

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized on Friday that territorial control will be a crucial factor in peace negotiations following a ceasefire. He reaffirmed that Ukraine will not recognize occupied regions as part of Russia, CE Report quotes Anadolu Agency

“The issue of territories is the most difficult after the ceasefire. A ceasefire opens the path for both sides to end the war, but resolving territorial disputes is essential to achieving lasting peace,” Zelenskyy said in Kyiv, as reported by Interfax-Ukraine.

He stressed that Ukraine’s position on occupied territories is clear and supported by international partners. “This is my political will as president, and it reflects the will of our people. It is a violation of international law and Ukraine’s Constitution,” he stated.

Zelenskyy also noted that while territorial issues were not explicitly mentioned in the official document following recent talks between Ukrainian and US negotiators in Saudi Arabia, the topic was discussed.

Ukraine and its Western allies continue to demand the restoration of the country’s territorial integrity, while Russia maintains control over occupied regions.
