🇺🇦 Ukraine's leadership has shut down speculation about compromising its territorial integrity amid ongoing tensions with Russia. Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, flatly denied plans for a constitutional referendum that would recognize Russian control of disputed regions. 🚫
"No, we’re not doing this, and we don’t intend to cede any part of our land," Yermak told Interfax-Ukraine, channeling Kyiv’s unyielding stance. His remarks come as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists territorial discussions must happen directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin—not through unilateral moves.
While Ukraine acknowledges the conflict’s complexities, Yermak stressed: "We will not accept ultimatums." The statement reinforces Kyiv’s strategy to prioritize diplomacy while holding firm on sovereignty. 🌍💥
