Zelensky has previously stated that Ukraine does not agree to cede its territory to Russia.
The Kremlin wants Ukraine to give Russia the territories seized by its troops.
This was stated by Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
“Moscow is waiting for Kyiv to accept Moscow’s demands and realize the de facto situation – the real situation that exists,” Peskov said.
At the same time, when asked whether this concerns territorial concessions, Peskov replied: “These are not territorial concessions, Kyiv needs to recognize the situation de facto and just soberly assess it.”

What came before
The day before, President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the proposals of some Western politicians that Ukraine should make concessions to Russia, including by giving up part of its territory.
However, Italy and Hungary called on the EU to make a clear case for a ceasefire in Ukraine and peace talks with the aggressor country, at odds with other member states determined to take a hard line on Moscow ahead of the next summit.

What a dumbass. As if the war was over. Only then could a situation as he described exist. Hitler could have said the same thing as he stood before Moscow. We all know how things ended. Neither country’s fate is yet sealed.

Yeah, they want Zelensky to hurry up and proclaim Putler’s advances as his territory. Funny how these stooges come out of the woodwork right after Ukraine conducted a poll reflecting 82% of Ukrainians would continue fighting instead of a peace settlement if they lost territory. If it is at 82% after 3 months of hell it would take several years to get that percent below 50.
