Zelenskiy Advocates for Peace, Demands Justice

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy is open to peace talks anywhere but Russia or Belarus, reinforcing Ukraine's stance of no territorial concessions. He urges tougher U.S. sanctions on Russia and calls for stable European financial support for the next few years.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed readiness for peace negotiations, provided they are held in any location except Russia and Belarus. The president emphasized Ukraine's refusal to concede any territory during the talks.

In a statement to the press released on Tuesday, Zelenskiy also pushed for the U.S. Congress to enforce stricter sanctions against Russia. He highlighted the necessity for Ukraine to secure consistent financial backing from European allies for an estimated two to three years.

These positions come as Ukraine remained firm in its resolve to continue defending its territorial integrity while seeking pathways to a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict.
