Details: While speaking with British journalists at Stansted Airport, the President of Ukraine emphasized that any agreement to end the war must be "honest," "fair," and "stable." It should include specific security guarantees that would prevent further aggression from Russia.

Zelensky firmly rejects the possibility of any territorial concessions and stressed that Ukraine will never recognize the occupied territories as part of Russia.

Direct quote: "Ukraine will never recognize the territories occupied by Russia. For us, this will be a temporary occupation. Our territories and our values are not for sale. Our freedoms are not for sale."

Details: The President added that security guarantees must include a strong response from Ukraine and its partners in the event of new aggression from Russia.

"I don't want to discuss the details until there are signatures... there are too many things to consider," he stated.

At the same time, the head of state reported that Ukraine's international partners have agreed to continue applying pressure on Russia.
