Ukraine needs real negotiations that could begin where the front line currently runs, said the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy According to him, this is also supported by Europeans.

"Russia has not yet achieved success in the Donetsk region, Putin has not managed to capture it for 12 years. And the Constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade in land," the head of state said in Telegram.

Zelensky also added that since the"territorial issue" is of great importance, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Russia and Ukraine - during a trilateral US-Ukraine-Russia meeting.

However, he also emphasized that there are no signals from the outside that such a meeting could take place at all.

"If Russia refuses, new sanctions should follow," Zelenskyy concluded.
