Zelensky says that Russia, through the US, is demanding that Ukraine leave territories it could not even occupy, and calls it an unhealthy idea that goes against common sense.
Ukraine's position is a ceasefire along the current front line without recognizing the occupied territories as Russian, and Zelensky says that the fate of Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine because it would be unfair and would not bring results.
Russia says it wants security guarantees, but Zelensky points out that they are the attackers and says he doesn't understand whose attack they fear or if they fear Ukraine.
