Ukraine will not cede land, Zelenskiy says, as Trump, Putin plan meeting

(snip)

"There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both," the Republican president said.

In a video address to the nation posted on his Telegram channel on Saturday, Zelenskiy said that any decisions without Ukraine would be decisions against peace.

How can anything be decided without all parties involved and that would not be just Putin n TSF. How arrogant of these two to think they will be the only ones to make this war end peacefully and satisfying to the people who were attacked without provocation.
