The statement is a direct expression of Ukraine's official position, repeatedly affirmed by Zelenskyy and Ukrainian leadership. It aligns with Ukraine's refusal to cede territory or sovereignty in exchange for peace, as seen in their resistance to Russian demands. There is no evidence contradicting this commitment to freedom and independence.

Achtergrond

Since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine has consistently rejected proposals that would compromise its territorial integrity or independence. Zelenskyy has emphasized this in multiple addresses, including at the UN and other international forums.

Samenvatting verdict

Zelenskyy's statement accurately reflects Ukraine's stance on sovereignty and resistance to Russian aggression.
