Details: Mathernova noted that Russia is attempting to redraw borders by force. She emphasised that sovereignty and territorial integrity are protected by international law and are non-negotiable.

"The EU does not and never will recognise Russia's illegal annexation and occupation of Ukraine's territories. Crimea, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk are Ukraine," she stressed.

Background: 

• Recently, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz suggested that a future settlement to end Russia's war against Ukraine could involve Ukraine losing territory in exchange for "future security guarantees".
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also stated that Ukraine would need to make concessions on the territories Russia has seized since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war.
