Zelensky Advises Not to Rush on Peace Agreement

Leaders from several European countries have directly advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky not to rush into signing a peace agreement. This was reported by Axios, citing its sources.

According to the portal, the discussion primarily concerns a potential agreement that could force Kyiv to concede territories that are currently under Ukrainian control. European leaders believe such a move could have long-term negative consequences for Ukraine's security as well as regional stability.

Sources indicate that the European side has urged Zelensky to adopt a more cautious approach and not to accept conditions that could weaken Ukraine’s position in the negotiation process. It is emphasized that achieving peace should be based not only on the cessation of military operations but also on the preservation of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Analysts suggest that this advice indicates a continued European caution against quick, yet one-sided concessions made in pursuit of peace.
