It would be "unacceptable" for Ukraine to simply give up its territory in any peace deal with Russia.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi said this in an interview with Sky News,
Censor.NET reports.
Syrskyi said that a "just peace" can only be achieved if hostilities are stopped along the current front lines and negotiations then begin.
In his view, Russia is using peace talks as a "cover" to seize more Ukrainian territory.
"Our main mission is to defend our land, our country, and our population. Naturally, for us it is unacceptable to simply give up territory. What does it even mean - to hand over our land? This is precisely why we are fighting; so we do not give up our territory," the Commander-in-Chief stressed.
