MADRID, 28 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, criticized this Saturday the “great geopoliticians” who recommend that Ukraine cede territories to Russia in exchange for an “illusion of peace” and recalled that this would affect millions of Ukrainians who live in those regions. .

“Behind these geopolitical speculations of those who advise Ukraine to give something to Russia, there are great geopoliticians who do not want to see ordinary people,” Zelensky said in a message posted on his Telegram account.

“Millions of people currently live in the territory that they propose that we exchange for Russia in exchange for the illusion of peace. You always have to take people into account and remember that values ??are not just words,” he added.

Russia has recognized the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in the Donbas region, and on February 24 launched a broad offensive to “de-Nazify” Ukraine. However, the support of the United States and its allies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces has largely frustrated the advance of Russian troops.
