Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that protecting Ukraine’s territorial integrity is the “biggest challenge” in negotiations to end the war, during discussions in Paris with European and US officials. He stressed the importance of security guarantees and preventing concessions that would legitimize Russia’s occupation. While Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called for unity among allies, Zelenskyy’s adviser reiterated that Ukraine will not accept any territorial concessions. Meanwhile, a Russian missile strike on Dnipro resulted in at least four fatalities, highlighting the ongoing conflict as diplomatic efforts continue.
