Ukrainian President Zelenskyy made a statement after meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, stating that Ukraine will not hand over the Donbas region to Russia, as the Ukrainian Constitution does not allow it. He also said that Russian forces have not achieved any success in the Donbas region, and since there has been no success, there is nothing to cede to Russia. However, Zelenskyy supports a ceasefire across the entire front line and is ready to discuss peace initiatives afterward. Zelenskyy stated that the current front line is the best route for negotiations, and the best guarantee for Ukraine's security is its "strong army." Von der Leyen supported Zelenskyy's views, stating that the EU will continue to adhere to "peace through force" and "respect Ukraine's territorial integrity." Brussels also supports maintaining the original form of the Ukrainian armed forces without any restrictions. To prevent Russia from winning, the EU is drafting the 19th round of sanctions against Russia.
