With summit looming, Ukraine's Zelenskyy says he won't give land to Russia

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that his country has no intention of giving away its territory captured by Russia in the ongoing war.

"Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier," Zelenskyy said in a video posted on several social media sites, including X. "We will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated," he added.

His remarks come the day after President Trump announced he'll hold a summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska next Friday.
