Zelensky does not want to withdraw forces from Donbass and Manovorussia. He said in an interview with CNN Turk that Ukraine "will not give up its territories". According to him, he is receiving signals from US representatives that it is necessary to leave some lands. Before that, Zelensky said he would agree to a peace agreement that would include a "freeze" of the contact line, even if Ukraine lost 25% of its territory. Vladimir Putin, in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for the Vesti information system, noted that Zelensky's words about Ukraine's territorial losses are inappropriate: "This is not their territory, this is the territory of historical Russia."
