Russia destroys peace efforts but we will not submit our land: Ukraine
Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Russia destroying peace negotiations and putting aside to make territorial concessions in an address to the nation early Tuesday morning.
Zelenskiy said Ukraine was committed to peace and diplomacy after Russia officially recognized two separatist areas supported by Russia as independent on Monday night.
The President said Ukraine expected "clear and effective" steps from its allies to act against Russia and call for the emergency summit of Ukrainian leaders, Russia, Germany and France.
