Tusk: pressure should be put on Russia, not on Ukraine

No one should pressure Ukraine into making territorial concessions — instead, pressure should be applied to Russia to make it end its aggression.

According to Ukrinform, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote this on X.

"None of us should put pressure on Zelensky when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace," Tusk stated.

As previously reported, during negotiations at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff pressured Ukraine to cede Donetsk region to Russia.
