Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reaffimed his firm refusal to cede any territory, resisting U.S. pressure for a painful compromise with Russia as he continued to rally European support for Ukraine.

“Undoubtedly, Russia insists for us to give up territories. We, clearly, don’t want to give up anything. That’s what we are fighting for,” Zelenskyy said in a WhatsApp chat late Monday in which he answered reporters’ questions.

“Do we consider ceding any territories? According to the law we don’t have such right. According to Ukraine’s law, our constitution, international law, and to be frank, we don’t have a moral right either.”

      where’s this for deserters in the russian army?

      As far i’m aware russians are free to leave the country

      By your logic the russians don’t want to fight and putler isn’t listening to his people

      If people wanted to fight there would be no draft. When you defend drafting people by force by the same logic you are defending it for putler too.
