President of Ukraine has said that an agreement on ending the war in Ukraine is still a long way off. According to him, no one has started such steps yet. This is reported by Sky News with reference to an interview with Volodymyr Zelensky.

It is noted that during a conversation with British journalists at Stansted Airport, he emphasized that agreement to end the war should be "honest", "fair", "stable".

"Today we are talking about the first steps, and so until they are on paper, I would not like to talk about them in great detail. The agreement on the end of the war is still very, very far away. No one has started all these steps. Peace should be very specific, with very specific security guarantees, and with very specific carriers of these security guarantees, with specific responsibility for the amount of this assistance. In what sense will they be, if we are talking about this or that kind of assistance at sea, on land and in the sky. I am not talking about assistance, but presence. This is part of the security guarantees", - said the Head of State.

He categorically denied the possibility of any territorial concessions and emphasized that Ukraine would never recognize the occupied territories as part of Russia: "Ukraine will never recognize the territories occupied by Russia. For us, it will be a temporary occupation. Our territories and our values are not for sale. Our freedoms are not for sale".

Volodymyr Zelensky added that security guarantees should provide for a strong response from Ukraine and its partners in the event of new Russian aggression: "I don`t want to talk about the details until we have the signatures... there are too many things to think about".
