“There is a chance to achieve real peace, but Putin is afraid of negotiations and is doing everything to prolong the war,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
He commented on Putin’s statement that Zelensky had no right to sign a final peace agreement with Russia.
“Today, Putin once again confirmed that he is afraid of negotiations, afraid of strong leaders, and is doing everything to prolong the war. His every step and cynical tricks are aimed at making the war endless,” Zelensky said.
He noted that now “there is a chance to achieve real peace,” but Putin is doing everything to “either continue to kill or take a break, to prepare a new large-scale invasion in the future, carrying out hybrid strikes.”
