President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy participated in the Ukrainian Youth Forum 2025, where he once again emphasised that no decisions concerning Ukraine can be made without Ukraine’s participation. The Head of State stressed that our country seeks peace, but without compromises on freedom and independence. No external power has, or will have, the right to determine Ukraine’s fate without the will of the Ukrainian people.

“Ukraine’s independence depends above all on Ukrainians — on our attitude towards Ukraine, our home, and the people around us. Because no one from any other country will ever love and respect our home the way we do. Everything depends on our strength and our certainty that we are in the right, that the aggressor is indeed the aggressor, and that we are in our own home,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasised this during his address at the Youth Forum 2025.
