Putin-Trump summit: Zelensky warns against ‘decisions without Ukraine’ • FRANCE 24 English

And the Ukrainian president has since responded. Here’s Vladimir Zalinsky on the prospect of seeding territory to Russia. Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier. Ukraine is ready for real solutions that can bring peace. Solutions that are against us, solutions that are without Ukraine are simultaneously solutions against peace. They will not achieve anything. These are dead solutions. And it’s worth repeating, the summit between Trump and Putin does not include any representation of Ukraine, the country which was invaded first when Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014 and then again the full-scale invasion eight years later. Emanuel Shaz has more in Kev. Presidential reaction is uh what actually three quarters of Ukrainians are thinking. There’s been a recent survey showing that this the this is the amount of the Ukrainian population which do not want to broker a peace with Russia under Russia’s condition which would amount to giving up Ukrainian territories. And Vladim Zilinski in his address also stated what is constitutionally a fact here in Ukraine. The I will quote him the answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in the constitution of Ukraine. giving up Ukrainian territory uh by uh if KF give give up this territory gave up that territory that would amount to violating the Ukrainian constitution, violating uh the country’s very own sovereignty. It is not something uh that Ukraine is ready to do if uh it were to swap territories. It would need also to have the approval of the Ukrainian population. It is a population that is not ready to make that concession. I’m often asked whether or not Ukrainian would like uh uh to see those peace talks uh being successful. Of course, they would love not being bombed every day. They would love for Russia not to attack their country, but Ukraine is very much defending uh its own sovereignty, uh its own territorial integrity. And as things stands, it is very much a dialogue uh happening between Washington and Moscow uh at the expense of uh Ukraine, of Ukrainians uh territorial integrity and of Ukrainians. This

President Volodymyr Zelensky on August 9 warned that “decisions without Ukraine” would not bring peace and ruled out ceding territory to Russia. “Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier,” he said on social media, as US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin prepare to hold a summit next week. France 24’s Emmanuelle Chaze tells us more.

  1. My neighbor and I came to an agreement that he will give me $1000 and Donald Trump will resign. That's how negotiations work, right?

  6. Trump will just get upset that anybody stands in the way of his delusion that his boyfriend Putin is handing him a Nobel peace Prize in Alaska while grizzly bears playing balalaika serenade them.

  8. But what are you weak and feckless French and the EU doing right now? This in your backyard, not doing a thing, but got comments on how America is working to end this conflict that has nothing to do with us or our backyard.

  12. Peace talks without Ukraine are nothing but Putin's lip service and we all know if Putin's lips are moving, he's lying. If Ukraine concedes land, Putin will invade again. You pay an extortionist, and they will only come back for more. Trump is just trying to aggrandize himself in a blatant effort to grab a Nobel Peace Prize. He cares nothing for Ukraine. His lips are moving = liar, liar pants on fire.

  16. Don’t give up anything, you have came this far and NATO pushed you this far. Don’t give up! slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

  18. Russia, go home 🏡
    ✋️ Stop any aggression!
    Stop all the wars ✋️
    Respekt International Law 🤍
    Save humanity

  21. Ukraine should not have made this jocker the president, Ukraine already lost sovereignty by playing puppet to EU and USA

  25. Snifflensky and the media are belligerent big mad that Snifflensky isn't a part of the summit. He wanted a photo op with the big boys, and they slapped him down in his place. Now they're are throwing a tantrum 😂😂😂
