Ukrainians defend what’s theirs. Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier.
President Zelenskyy
I’m writing this on August 14th.
In 24 hours President Putin and President are to meet in Alaska. There will be no Ukrainian presence. That’s a non-starter.
A statement from President Zelenskyy following the announcement that Putin and Trump will meet without Ukraine.
“Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. The Ukrainian people deserve peace. But all partners must understand what a dignified peace is. This war must be brought to an end – and Russia must end it. Russia started it and is dragging it out, ignoring all deadlines, and that is the problem, not something else.
The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in the Constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this – and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier. 
Decisions to Bring Peace
Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace. Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace. They will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They are unworkable decisions. And we all need real and genuine peace. Peace that people will respect. We are ready to work together with President Trump, together with all our partners for real and, most importantly, lasting peace. A peace that will not collapse because of Moscow’s desires.
I thank all our people for being together. Ukraine is. I thank all our soldiers for preserving our independence.
Stand firm, this is our land, we are Ukraine.”
To understand about Ukraine, listen to Ukrainian voices. The Alaska meeting will not be monumental. Do not fear.
