Zelenskyy firmly denies pressure to negotiate with Russia

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy denies reports of pressure from the US and EU to negotiate with Russia, stating that no one is forcing Ukraine to give anything away. However, NBC News reports that US and European officials have been discussing possible peace talks with Russia, including what Ukraine might need to concede. Concerns have arisen over the stalemate in the Russia-Ukraine war and the potential reduction in aid. Ukraine emphasizes its sovereignty and its 10-point peace proposal.
