Ukraine has declared its readiness for a ceasefire along the entire front line, but it will categorically not recognize Russian control over the occupied territories, as this contradicts the country’s Constitution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that any agreements on the cessation of hostilities do not mean a rejection of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. According to him, the Constitution prohibits the president or parliament from changing the state’s borders or conceding lands.<\/p>\n

“Ukraine is ready for a ceasefire, but will not make concessions that would legitimize the occupation,” Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n

After telephone talks with European leaders, the Ukrainian president confirmed that diplomatic channels remain a priority, as regaining control over the territories by force is currently unlikely.<\/p>\n

Amid possible talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, Ukraine calls for full participation in peace talks and warns against any agreements that could violate the sovereignty of the state.<\/p>\n

Experts also note that the Ukrainian position has support both in domestic society and in the international arena, where there is no agreement to recognize the results of Russia’s armed aggression.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated the importance of the international conversation of security advisors, which took place after the meeting of Trump’s special representative Steve Witkoff with Vladimir Putin.<\/a> Representatives of leading Western powers took part in the talks, and tomorrow the parties plan to continue discussing possible paths to peace.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are reportedly set to meet next week to discuss a potential peace deal over the war in Ukraine. However, analysts say the sides have fundamentally different positions and the likelihood of a real truce remains low.<\/a><\/p>\n

It should be noted that on August 6, US President’s special representative Steve Witkoff arrived in Russia, where he held talks with Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin stated thatthe parties discussed the situation in Ukraine and possible directions of strategic cooperation between Moscow and Washington<\/a> . The meeting was called “constructive.”<\/p>\n

As is known, US President Donald Trump announced progress in negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.<\/a> According to him, his special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Vladimir Putin, after which consultations with European allies began.<\/p>\n

In addition, US President Donald Trump has informed European leaders of his intention to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week, and then to organize a trilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> . This could be the first direct dialogue of this format since the start of the full-scale war.<\/p>\n

By the way, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that after the conversation with Donald Trump, Russia is demonstrating greater readiness for a ceasefire<\/a> . At the same time, he warned that the Kremlin should not be allowed to deceive either Ukraine or the United States. The head of state also noted the successes of the Ukrainian army in Kursk, which forced Moscow to ask for help from the DPRK.<\/p>\n
