# Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky says he will not agree to any Russian proposal to give up more of his country’s territory in exchange for a ceasefire. Last week, Russia indicated it was prepared to consider a ceasefire, in exchange for Ukraine withdrawing from the parts of Donbas it still controlled. The Donbas, comprising the eastern regions of Luhansk and Donetsk, has been partially occupied by Moscow since 2014. Zelensky warns that Russia wants to use Donbas as a springboard for future attacks.
