Zelenskyy: Territory issue is most complicated after ceasefire with Russia

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy

The most complicated issue in the peace process after the ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia remains the issue of territory.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this at a meeting with journalists, Censor.NET reports.

"The issue of territories is the most complicated after the ceasefire. Why? Because a ceasefire unblocks the parties' path to ending the war. And the territories, I believe, will really be the point that makes it possible to end the war after this issue is resolved," the head of state emphasized.

He noted that the issue of ceasefire is complicated because it requires courage and political will.

At the same time, he said, the issue of territories will require a difficult dialog.

Zelenskyy emphasized that the partners are aware of Ukraine's "red lines." In particular, Ukraine will not legally recognize Russia's control over the occupied territories.

"This is my political will as president. And this is the political will of our people. This is a violation of international law and the Constitution of Ukraine," he added.
