Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky said that a just peace deal with Russia depends on the return of the territories occupied by Moscow. The Ukrainian is in the United States on his first trip since the start of the war, which began in February.
“For me as president, a ‘just peace’ does not mean any commitment to the sovereignty, freedom and territorial integrity of my country,” Zelensky said at a joint press conference with US President Joe Biden.
But the Kremlin said on Wednesday it saw no chance of peace talks with Kyiv.
Alongside his meeting with Biden, Zelensky will address Congress.
Speaking shortly before the meeting between the two, Biden told Zelensky “it is an honor to stand by him in defense against a brutal war waged by Putin.”
The US president also pointed out that Russia’s attacks on the country’s energy system are escalating and said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “trying to use winter as a weapon”.
