(Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that Kyiv would not settle for a battlefield stalemate with Russia and that it aimed to regain control of all its territory occupied by Moscow. 

"We have already lost too many people to simply cede our territory," he said by video link at an event hosted by FT Live, in which he added that a stalemate was "not an option" for Kyiv. 

"We have to achieve a full deoccupation of our entire territory," Zelenskiy said. Kyiv has previously said that Russian forces now occupy about 20% of Ukrainian territory, including swathes of its east and south.
