UKRAINE vowed to resist an imposed peace deal or demands it surrender territory to Russia today after the United States paused military aid.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said any peace must be “on Ukraine’s terms, as the victim country” that was invaded by Russia in 2022.

Giving up territory to Russia, which occupies nearly 20 per cent of Ukraine, “is not possible” under the United Nations Charter, he said.
