In an exclusive interview, Mr Zelensky said that “nobody in the world” could push Ukraine into an unjust peace deal with Russia that meant the permanent loss of Ukrainian territory.
Mr Trump has previously suggested that he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours. Mr Zelensky said that the “simple way” to do that would be to push Ukraine to "pay the price" of a peace deal by giving away land to Russia, but he said his country would never accept that.
Mr Zelensky was speaking at Blenheim Palace in the UK where he joined dozens of leaders and the UK’s new prime minister Keir Starmer, to discuss how they could help support Ukraine in its war with Russia.

It's ironic that Zelensky doesn't realise that everything he did up to now was at expense of the lives of ordinary Ukranian people. No matter what you think, Russia isn't going to back down because they perceive NATO presence in Ukraine as an existential threat. A real leader who thinks about his people would have opted for diplomacy - it doesn't mean surrendering. Going for a war if diplomatic action failed is fine but rejecting negotiations just because Joe Biden told him to do so was outright stupid. After all is it worth losing an entire generation to secure NATO membership?
