Zelensky: Anchorage concessions off the table, cites battlefield gains

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that the 'Anchorage agreements'—which reportedly included Russian demands for recognition of sovereignty over occupied territories—are no longer under negotiation, attributing this shift to Ukraine's improved battlefield position. This marks a hardening of Kyiv's stance, reversing any prior willingness to consider territorial concessions. The statement signals reduced prospects for a negotiated settlement in the near term, though the exact terms of the 'Anchorage' framework remain unconfirmed.
