No compromise on territorial integrity, says Ukraine foreign minister | India News

NEW DELHI: Ahead of US President Donald Trump’s conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for a proposed ceasefire, Ukraine foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said his country desires a peaceful resolution to the conflict but will not compromise on its territorial integrity. He also said that just and lasting peace is possible under Trump’s leadership.
“We are not the obstacle to achieving peace. We really expect from Russian side unconditional yes for ceasefire,” Foreign minister Sybiha said.
During an interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue here, Sybiha also said a clear position on the proposed ceasefire is likely to emerge after the phone conversation between Trump and Putin.
It will be in global interest to achieve long-lasting and just peace, Sybiha said.
Ukraine is not opposed to the peace initiative as it has accepted the US proposal on a 30-day ceasefire with Russia, Sybiha said.
