President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied The Telegraph's information about alleged readiness to exchange territories, and added that the appropriate information ground is being prepared.
"The Telegraph wrote that I am ready to exchange territories. I have not communicated with The Telegraph. But I am an experienced enough person to understand how the information field is being prepared. They are criticized: 'Is Ukraine ready to exchange...' Then they watch the reactions of certain people, civil society, bloggers, journalists, the population. The appropriate information ground is simply being prepared," Zelenskyy said during a conversation with journalists on Tuesday.
He said he is not going to surrender his country, because he has no right to do so.
"And the question is not that I am hiding behind the Constitution. The state is what, private property? 30% of Donetsk region is what, my private property? Or yours? Or someone else's? The exchange of territories is a very complex issue that cannot be separated from security guarantees for Ukraine, for our sovereign state and our people," Zelenskyy said.
