Ukraine’s Armed Forces Chief: Giving Up Territory is “Unjust Peace”
In a recent interview, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, stated that any peace deal with Russia that involved Ukraine ceding territory would be unacceptable. He emphasized that a “just peace” would necessitate a halt to fighting along current frontlines, followed by negotiations without preconditions. General Syrskyi accused Russia of using peace talks as a strategic cover to seize more Ukrainian land through continued military offensives. He also asserted that Ukraine possesses the resources to continue its military operations and that the outcome of the war would determine the fate of all of Europe.
