“In 1994, trust was already placed in the presidents of Russia and the USA” – Viktor Yushchenko on the new “peace plan” and the Kremlin’s traps

Victor Yushchenko: Ukraine cannot make territorial concessions

Former President of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko spoke against the possibility of territorial concessions in peace negotiations with Russia, calling them signs of capitulation.

In a recent interview with the portal LIGA.net, Victor Yushchenko elaborated on his vision of Ukraine’s strategic future amid ongoing military aggression from Russia. The former president categorically rejects the possibility of territorial concessions, emphasizing that such compromises are tantamount to capitulation. The interview was recorded against the backdrop of another massive shelling of Ukrainian cities.

Yushchenko believes that at this moment, Ukraine should rely on international partners and develop long-term war strategies. He also emphasized the importance of support from countries like the USA, but noted that even without this support, Ukraine would be able to persevere thanks to the consolidation of internal resources and a common position with European allies. Currently, the most pressing issue is avoiding “pseudo-compromises” that could undermine Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

According to Yushchenko, the country’s internal resilience is critically important in the context of ongoing political scandals, which might influence the political climate. Therefore, internal unity and a clear understanding of long-term interests are necessary to overcome current challenges.
