However, Zelenskyy has maintained that Ukraine’s constitution prohibits the surrender of any territory. The strained relationship between Trump and Zelenskyy further deteriorated following a contentious meeting. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, particularly concerning Crimea, remains a significant point of contention between Russia and Ukraine. The situation continues to impact diplomatic efforts to achieve a lasting peace agreement in the region.
