Ukraine is committed to peace but not at the expense of giving up its territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a sit down with representatives of the Indian media that was published on Aug. 25.

Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the need for Russia’s war to end during the latter’s historic visit to Kyiv on Aug. 23.

“When you say ‘diplomacy’, I’m all for it, but I’d like to see concrete steps that are not at the expense of 30% of our state and not at the expense of our population. If there is such a plan, we’re all for it,” Zelensky said.

    Just for comparsion, that would be like surrendering Alaska, Texas, and California if we needed to surrender 30% of our territory “for peace”

        Lemmy has a significant US based population. Is it really that surprising that someone would use places familiar to them to compare to?
