Zelenskyy: Russia to not draw new borders in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy once again reiterated that Ukraine’s territorial integrity is non-negotiable, speaking atthe Warsaw Security Forum on September 29. 

Asked whether he would be prepared to make territorial concessions to end the war, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine’s borders are defined by its constitution, Caliber.Az reports per foreign media.

He signaled some openness to “diplomatic” talks but stressed, “Russia will not be drawing new borders in Ukraine.”

During a Q&A session, Zelenskyy highlighted the importance of unity in the face of external pressures, saying the main weapon needed by Ukraine is “unity,” while warning about attempts to divide Europe.

He also underlined Ukraine’s military needs, calling for more air defence systems and missiles to protect its skies, and pointed to the significance of NATO’s Purl initiative for Ukraine.
