KYIV, March 16 — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has ruled out any territorial concessions to Russia as a potential step towards a ceasefire, reported Xinhua, citing the UNIAN News Agency.
"Our position is that we do not recognise the occupied Ukrainian territories as Russian under any circumstances," he told the press.
Zelenskiy confirmed that potential territorial concessions were discussed during a March 11 meeting between Ukrainian and United States delegations in Saudi Arabia.
He noted that Washington took into account Kyiv's stance on the issue.
Zelenskiy stressed that the territorial issues are "complex" and should be addressed later at the negotiating table.
