Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly rejected rumors and proposals to rename the Donbas region, specifically dismissing the term 'Donnyland'. He warned that the region must not be allowed to become 'Putinland'. Zelensky emphasized that in any negotiations, only the official terms 'Donetsk region', 'Luhansk region', and 'Ukrainian territory' are valid. His comments follow a New York Times report detailing a Kyiv proposal to rename part of the region 'Donniland', which he also addressed.
