Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that neither he nor his people can accept some of Russia's reported demands for ending its increasingly brutal invasion, which is now entering its fourth week.
Notably, Zelensky said, Ukraine would not be giving any territorial concessions to Russia.
"There are compromises for which we cannot be ready as an independent state," he told CNN host Fareed Zakaria, speaking through an interpreter. "Any compromises related to our territorial integrity and our sovereignty .... [the] Ukrainian people have spoken about it. They have not greeted Russian soldiers with a bunch of flowers; they have greeted them with bravery, and they have greeted them with weapons in their hands."
According to Turkey's government, which has strong relations with both Ukraine and Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently outlined a series of terms for ending his attack. The most challenging of those terms relate to Ukrainian territory.

Artillery can have major psychological effects.
The clown puppet has been told it is not time to end this crap.
I understand why Putin doesn’t want to talk to him. Ze has conflicting canned speeches for each audience.
Both Crimea and Donbast had “independent” attached to their existence.
There are drones to be bought and sold
Then I guess he is going to lose. There is no way he is getting Crimea. And he couldn’t take Donbass in 8 years, and now the Russian Army is officially there. So he’s gonna lose.... that’s just how it is. Unless you count his only option, getting NATO and Russia into direct combat, and then we all lose.
Whew. Good luck with that, globohomo boy.
Russia will consolidate the eastern oblasts into a loose confederation with minimal external control, and wait for Kiev to capitulate.
People will quickly figure out which side of the fence they want to live on.
Crimea is a no go, Russia will never give it back, nor should they.
As a practical matter that part of Donbas in Russian hands before the invasion, they will not get back.
As for the rest, they should not cede one square inch.
Zelensky is just the puppet mouthpiece for his globalist/financiers, who apparently don’t want this to end anytime soon. I’m really becoming concerned that tese reckless and arrogant nutjobs are intentionally willing to risk WW3 to get rid of Putin. Unfortunately us lowly plebes have no say in this decision. “Ours is not to reason why, ours is just to do and die”, according to our globalist masters.
Zelensky is such a war monger. He continues to refuse to surrender to those who have invaded his country. /sarc
“Russia is running out of money and equipment”
Thanks for giving us the result of your forensic audit of Russian funds and military equipment.
Oh wait—you were just parroting Mockingbird mass media propaganda.
Do you have a source for that assertion or is it just speculation? Serious question.
He’s already said Ukraine will no longer seek to be part of NATO
“it already had, in the first week”
You must be a rocket scientist.
LOL
Your Russian army isn’t doing so good right now ... no need for Ukraine to give up the fight yet
And you believe that?
