Zelensky Says Ukraine Has Red Lines but Sees Room for Peace
Ukraine’s president says Kyiv has clear red lines on territory and the Zaporizhzhia plant but believes a peace deal with Moscow is still possible.
Ukraine has its own «red lines» in the peace process, including issues related to territory and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, but at the same time Kyiv and Moscow still have opportunities to reach a peace agreement. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in comments to journalists.
He clarified that any potential decisions on territorial matters would be made only after consultations with Ukrainian society, either through public discussions or a nationwide referendum.
It was also reported that Zelensky has already departed for talks with U. S. President Donald Trump. According to the Ukrainian leader, the meeting with the American president in Florida will be held publicly.
Earlier, Trump said he was optimistic about the prospects of finalizing a peace agreement and confirmed plans to meet with Zelensky to discuss the details. The meeting in Florida is scheduled for December 28.
On December 24, Zelensky disclosed the main provisions of his peace plan. The document includes security guarantees modeled on NATO’s collective defense clause, the signing of a non-aggression agreement, the rapid organization of elections in Ukraine, a full exchange of prisoners, fixing the peacetime strength of the Ukrainian armed forces at up to 800,000 personnel, Ukraine’s accession to the European Union within a defined timeframe, and several other points.
