During a press conference after a meeting with US President, Ukrainian President commented on the possibility of holding a referendum on the issue of possible territorial concessions from Ukraine. He stated that this issue is complex, the Ukrainian people must be respected, the head of state also explained that a peace plan in general or any of its points can be put to a referendum.
"We must respect our law, our people, our territory that we control. Therefore, of course, our attitude is unequivocally clear, which is why President [Donald] Trump said that this is a very complex issue [the territorial issue]. And of course, we and the Russians have completely different positions here. When we talk about a referendum, we say that it is one of the keys. There can be a referendum, any referendum, in general, on any of the points of this plan. We can use a referendum for the plan as a whole or not use a referendum. This is just one of the keys", - said Volodymyr Zelensky.
He also did not rule out the possibility of a vote in parliament: "Of course, society must vote and choose, because this is the land of our people for many generations".
