Ukraine may have to give up land for peace – Kyiv Mayor Klitschko
The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has told the BBC that Ukraine may have to give up land as part of a peace deal with Russia, amid a growing pressure from President Donald Trump to accept territorial concessions.
“One of the scenarios is… to give up territory. It’s not fair. But for the peace, temporary peace, maybe it can be a solution, temporary,” he said.
But 53-year-old former world heavyweight boxing champion-turned politician stressed that the Ukrainian people would “never accept occupation” by Russia.
He was speaking just hours after a devastating Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv, in which 12 people were killed and more than 80 others injured.
It was one of the deadliest Russian assaults on the Ukrainian capital in months.
