Jiri Jicha wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky rejected in an interview with Fox News the idea that Ukraine would abandon its territory or withdraw its forces at Russia's request. According to him, Zelensky stated that Russia was not winning on the battlefield and was trying to force Ukraine to retreat through various forms of pressure. Jicha also mentioned that Zelensky supported the diplomacy and ceasefire proposed by Donald Trump, which he described as an excellent idea. According to him, the Ukrainian president said that peace would allow the return of 9.5 million displaced people living abroad and help them rebuild their lives and the country. Jicha wrote that Zelensky distinguished between accepting a ceasefire and surrendering Ukrainian territory. He added that any American peace initiative pressuring Ukraine for territorial concessions risked allowing Moscow to achieve through negotiations what it had not accomplished on the battlefield. #Ukrajina #Zelenskyj #mírováIniciativa (translated)
