Zelensky's Conditions for Ceasefire and Ukraine's Battlefield Achievements

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that a ceasefire with Russia is contingent upon the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, rights, and freedom of citizens. He emphasized that Ukraine will not make any concessions to Russia. Zelensky rejected claims that Ukraine is under pressure regarding negotiations and warned that if Ukraine becomes a victim, it will not be the last. As the war enters its 20th month, securing military and financial aid from allies has become challenging for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine aims to complete the process of joining the EU within two years, with the European Commission recommending the start of accession talks.
