Zaluzhnyi: Armed Forces will not accept any negotiations, agreements or compromise decisions

This was stated by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, in a phone call with Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, Ukrinform reports with reference to the Telegram channel of Zaluzhnyi.

"I assured that we will fight as long as we have the strength. Our goal is to liberate all Ukrainian land from Russian occupation. We will not stop on this path under any circumstances. The Ukrainian military will not accept any negotiations, agreements or compromise decisions. There is only one condition for negotiations - Russia must leave all captured territories," said Zaluzhnyi.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces also told his U.S. counterpart about the operational situation and the priority needs of the Defense Forces. "The situation at the front is stable and under control," he noted.

According to Zaluzhnyi, "we are closely monitoring the actions of the enemy on the border with the Republic of Belarus and are building a reliable shield to protect Ukraine from the north. The defense forces, despite the fierce resistance of the occupation forces, continue offensive actions in the Kharkiv direction. The enemy is actively attacking on the borderlines of Bilohorivka-Soledar-Bakhmut-Mayorsk and Avdiivka-Opytne-Vodiane-Pisky-Marinka-Pavlivka, but has not success. We hold the defense due to the resilience of our advanced units and combat-ready forces. In the Kherson direction, we are conducting stabilization measures and strengthening the defense lines."

"The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues to focus efforts on achieving the strategic objectives of stabilizing the situation in the designated operational zones, conducting further offensive actions to de-occupy the entire country and prevent the enemy from breaking through in areas of probable attack," said the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
