Zelensky said whether he would give Putin Crimea and Donbass

Vladimir Putin is not planning to end the war, but is seeking to occupy the entire territory of another sovereign country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with the British TV channel Channel 4 News.

He (Putin - ed.) does not want any peace with Ukraine," Zelensky said.

At the same time, the Ukrainian leader emphasised that he would not sign any peace treaties with the Kremlin head that envisage giving up the territories of Crimea or Donbas.

Zelensky emphasised that the issue of territorial claims and aggression of the Russian Federation should be resolved now, rather than waiting for something to change in the Russian Federation.

If we want to stop him (Putin - ed.), if the world does not want it to happen again, so that there will not be this aggression in a few years, it is better to deal with it now," Zelensky pointed out.

He also added that peace in Europe is possible only after everyone realises that Ukraine is truly independent. At the same time, the president admitted that "of course, it is better to find a political way to return our independence".
