Zelenskyy says Ukraine won’t cede territory to Russia

Zelenskyy insists Ukraine will not cede territory despite U.S. peace plan pressure; European leaders back strong security guarantees amid ongoing conflict.

  • On Monday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected ceding territory, saying Ukraine has no legal or moral right to do so while meeting European leaders in London and Castel Gandolfo on Tuesday.
  • The US peace plan, trimmed to 20 points, reflects Moscow's insistence on territorial concessions and Donald Trump repeatedly urging Kyiv to cede land for peace.
  • Russia launched over 1,600 attack drones, about 1,200 guided aerial bombs and nearly 70 missiles this past week, Ukraine's Security Service struck an LPG terminal at Temryuk on Dec. 5, and Ukrenergo reported emergency blackouts Tuesday.
  • The refusal increased the risk that a US-backed ceasefire could collapse, while European leaders at the Downing Street summit backed Kyiv and urged a lasting ceasefire with security guarantees.
  • Zelenskyy said his team could send a revised proposal to Washington as soon as Tuesday, adding, "Some issues can only be discussed in person" while continuing talks including a papal audience and Brussels meetings.
