Zelensky commented on the situation regarding the WHO.

Ukraine will never legally recognize the territories temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation as Russian, even if all its allies advocate for this. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting with representatives of the International Media Council on Tuesday, January 21, when asked if an agreement in which the Russian Federation would retain control over the occupied territories in eastern Ukraine would be acceptable for Kyiv.     The authorities have no right to abandon the lands for which Ukrainians have died, he said.   "However, right now we need to focus on ending the hot phase of the war. Currently, Kremlin leader Putin himself does not understand how to exit this conflict, so the USA and Europe should put pressure on him," Zelensky stated.   He emphasized that discussions with Putin should come from a position of strength.   "Putin cannot be subjectivized in this situation. He has violated everything; he is to blame. He must understand that he has erred, etc. But he cannot be stopped just like that. And it must be from a position of strength. If we start talking to him as equals, that would be a loss for Ukraine," Zelensky remarked.   At the Pentagon, all personnel responsible for cooperation with Ukraine have been fired or reassigned to other positions.   Recently, Trump stated that Zelensky is ready for an agreement to end the war. The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin may be pushed to negotiations by economic difficulties in Russia.   Kyiv and Moscow must make concessions - Rubio
