President Zelenskyy has made it clear that he is unwilling to accept the peace terms currently being pushed by the U.S., mainly because these terms would mandate significant concessions from Ukraine.

Furthermore, these terms suggest that Ukraine would need to demilitarize and adopt a stance of neutrality, which is an untenable position for Zelenskyy.
