Zelensky offers to freeze front line but rejects ceding 25% of Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine is ready to halt the war as quickly as possible by freezing combat along the current front line. He ruled out recognizing occupied territory as Russian or surrendering 25% of the country, saying Ukraine would retain control over at least 75% of its territory with security guarantees from partners.
