President Zelenski says Ukraine will not cede territory to Russia and that any decision taken without his involvement is against peace.

Volodimir Zelenski said Ukraine will not accept ceding territory to the Russian occupier, stressing that any decision without its involvement is contrary to peace. His comments come ahead of a meeting between Trump and Putin, where they discussed a possible swap of territories.

Russia called for ceding occupied regions and renouncing NATO aspirations.
