Why does Zelensky reject the US peace plan?
Asked 2 hours ago
Answer
Zelensky rejects the US peace plan because it requires Ukraine to cede significant territories to Russia, which he considers illegal and morally unacceptable. He insists on robust, legally binding security guarantees and argues that any territorial concessions would reward Russian aggression. Most Ukrainians also oppose such concessions, and Zelensky states that any decision to cede land would require a national referendum.
