The head of state made the remarks in an interview with DR Nyheder, Ukrinform reports, citing his Telegram channel. “Ceding Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not only about reality, even more about philosophy. Putin was talking about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, but the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying he was defending Russian-speaking people and then tortured hundreds and thousands to death in Bucha and other places. So that wasn’t about Russian-speaking people,” he said. Zelensky added that, in response to the U.S. side’s proposal to exchange Donbas for security guarantees, he had asked for clarification on what exactly those guarantees would entail.
