Kyiv Mayor: Zelenskyy may be forced to accept painful solutions

Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko, in an interview with the BBC, stated that Ukraine may be forced to make territorial concessions as part of a peace agreement with Russia, in the face of growing pressure, particularly from US President Donald Trump, who suggests accepting a compromise solution.

"One of the options is the surrender of part of the territory. It is not a fair solution. But for the sake of peace, perhaps as a temporary solution, it can be considered," Klitschko said.

However, the former world boxing champion, now a 53-year-old politician, stressed that Ukrainian citizens will never accept the Russian occupation as legitimate. His statement came shortly after a fierce missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian capital, which killed 12 people and injured more than 80 others — one of the worst attacks in Kiev in recent months.

Russia, which began its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, continues to control about 20% of the territory of the Ukrainian state.
