“International borders cannot change through the use of force. This kind of decision has to be made by Ukraine, and only Ukraine, but never by force,” said Von der Leyen, who added that the position of the EU and Ukraine in this aspect is clear.
Some of the main points that have highlighted during the press conference have been the support of the EU to the country of Zelenski, the security guarantees to reach a peace agreement or the territorial exchanges to which Putin and Trump referred to. “Putin has many demands but we don’t know them,” The Ukrainian has underlined, who added that an exchange of territories is currently impossible due to the Ukrainian Constitution, which prevents it.

In this regard, the Ukrainian President has defended whatE “Russia still does not succeed in Donetsk” and that “Putin has been unable to conquer it for twelve years. And the Constitution of Ukraine declares both the transfer of territories and their exchange.”
