Ukraine wants peace but will not surrender to Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated Monday during Independence Day celebrations in Kyiv. Zelenskyy’s defiant speech came as foreign leaders, including British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and European Council President Antonio Costa, gathered in Ukraine’s capital to commemorate the 35th anniversary of its independence from the Soviet Union.
Burnham made his first visit to Kyiv as prime minister, joining Costa among the dignitaries present. Zelenskyy affirmed Ukraine’s desire for peace, but emphasized the nation will not concede to Russian demands. The statement underscores Ukraine’s continued resistance amid ongoing conflict, signaling a firm stance against accepting terms that would compromise its sovereignty.
While both the South China Morning Post and Newsmax reported on Zelenskyy’s address, they presented the information similarly, focusing on his commitment to peace while refusing to yield to Russia. No center-leaning outlet reported this story.
