KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that Ukraine has to confront the possibility of losing its dignity or risking the loss of a key partner as it figures out how to respond to a U.S. peace proposal to end Russia’s war with his country.

“This is one of the most difficult moments in our history,” Zelenskyy said in a video address to the nation. “Currently, the pressure on Ukraine is one of the hardest. Ukraine may now face a very difficult choice, either losing its dignity or the risk of losing a key partner.”

He said Ukraine would “work calmly with America and all partners,” as he vowed to work constructively.
