He told journalists this, as reported by Novyny.LIVE.

According to Zelenskyy, international partners, particularly during contacts with U.S. President Donald Trump, have been asking about the limits of possible compromises on Ukraine's part.

"First and foremost, we really must work to ensure we have a minimum of unresolved issues. Of course, there are red lines today for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. I'm confident there are compromise proposals," he noted.

The head of state emphasized that all issues related to peace agreements are extremely sensitive.

"This includes territories and the nuclear power plant. You know my position—legally, we will not recognize anything under any circumstances," he explained.

Zelenskyy added that possible solutions to such issues would require broad discussion with society.

"But most importantly, what I would draw attention to today is security guarantees. Besides territorial issues and the Zaporizhzhia plant, there are security guarantees that are very important to us," he stressed.

  • On Friday, December 26, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he had agreed with U.S. leader Donald Trump on a meeting that will take place in the coming days. Media reports indicate the leaders will meet at Mar-a-Lago on December 28.
