The Office of the President of Ukraine was asked whether Ukraine is ready to cede territories occupied by the russians in exchange for a certain and secure peace. According to the head of the office, Andriy Yermak, this is a red line. He stated this in an interview with Corriere della Sera, reports TSN.
“We will never recognize the legitimacy of the russian occupation of our regions by force. For us, that is a red line. Secondly, serious security guarantees are still needed. And russia must think about military reparations”, - Yermak emphasized.
He also commented on Zelensky’s alleged readiness to freeze the status of occupied territories for 15 years.
“It’s too early to talk about that. Let’s take it step by step: first, a complete ceasefire”, - concluded Andriy Yermak.
The head of the President’s Office also denied information about preparations for elections in the summer of 2025.
