JAKARTA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky firmly rejected US President Donald Trump's proposal signaling a possible regional exchange with Russia as part of a peace agreement.
Zelensky stressed that the Ukrainian constitution prohibits the division of territory of the country, and surrendering land means giving the invaders a break to counterattack.
"Ukraine will not award its land to the invaders," Zelensky said in a video speech from Kiev, Sunday, August 10, as reported by the New York Times.
He stressed that every decision made without Ukraine was an illegitimate and unsuccessful decision.

Trump previously stated that he was ready to discuss the issue of regional exchange when meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, 2025. However, he did not specify which area.
The majority of Ukrainians refuse to hand over territory to Russia, based on a survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology. They themselves demanded that Ukraine release four oblasts (provinces) which are claimed to be annexed since 2022, including Donetsk and Luhansk.
