Ukrainian President Zelenski rejects Russia's proposal to cede territory for a ceasefire, warning of the risks of a new war.

Zelenski said Ukraine would not accept ceding territory in exchange for a ceasefire, fearing that Russia would use the territories as a springboard for future offensives. Against the backdrop of the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, Zelenski emphasized that there are no signs of a Russian ceasefire and that Russia is preparing new attacks. He insisted that any territorial talks must be linked to security guarantees, refusing to leave Donbas, a strategic region for Ukraine.
