Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reaffirmed in a New Year’s Eve address that Ukraine wants peace with Russia but not at the expense of its existence, pledging to reject any “weak” resolution in the name of ending further conflict.
Kyiv wants the map frozen at the current battle lines, and Zelenskyy dismissed as “deception” Russian demands for a complete withdrawal from Donbas as a precondition for any cease-fire or peace agreement.
