Zelenskyy affirms Ukraine's stance against ceding territory amid summit tensions

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy rejected the planned US-Russia summit in Alaska, emphasizing that Ukraine's territorial integrity is non-negotiable and warning that excluding Kyiv from peace negotiations would lead to dead-end solutions. Zelenskyy insists Ukraine's voice must be included in any peace deal, amid ongoing tensions and military conflict with Russia. Meanwhile, the US plans to meet with Putin to discuss ending the Ukraine war, with no clear path to peace as the conflict continues.
