Zelensky's team responds to Trump's advisor's statement on 'loss of Crimea'.

Advisor to the President of Ukraine disputes Trump's team's claims on the 'unrealistic' return of occupied territories

Dmitry Litvin, an advisor to Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizes that it is Putin who seeks to continue the war and gain new conquests. "It is Putin who wants more war, more deaths, and more seized land, not Ukraine," Litvin stresses.

According to Litvin, Ukraine has consistently advocated for peace since 2022 and has "quite realistic proposals." He stresses the need to make Russia hear that peace is necessary and must be reliable, "to simply prevent another recurrence of Russian strikes."

The advisor to the president reminded of daily attacks from Russia. "Daily, there are Russian strikes by Iranian 'shahids' on civilian infrastructure, on ordinary houses, daily missile strikes," noted Litvin.

"Now even North Korea has provided Putin with its soldiers for a greater war against Ukraine. Now in October, Putin is spending most of his people on assaults at the front. What does this indicate? Obviously, he wants to continue fighting," emphasized Litvin.

The statement by the advisor to the president was in response to the statement by Donald Trump's senior advisor Brian Lanza, who assured the BBC that "Crimea is no more" and urged Ukraine to present a "realistic vision of peace."
