Zelensky lashes out at Trump envoy

"U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has no mandate to discuss
territorial issues between Moscow and Kiev,
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has said.
The statement came in response to a journalist’s question during a press conference alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Odessa on Tuesday. The Ukrainian leader was asked to comment on Witkoff’s recent remarks that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine revolves around “five territories.”
Ukraine is a sovereign state and all territories belong to the unitary state of Ukraine, and therefore, only the people of Ukraine can speak about the territories of our state,Zelensky replied.
Recognizing any formerly Ukrainian regions as belonging to Russia is another red line” for Kiev, he added." RT
