“In today's Russian strike, there were missiles that launched the Black Sea from the water area. Partners know what vessels were and from which part of the sea this launch occurred. This is one of the reasons why Russia distorts diplomacy, why Russia does not go to an unconditional ceasefire – they want to leave the opportunity to beat themselves from the sea of the sea in our cities,” Zelensky said.
The President noted that “the ceasefire at sea is not only about free shipping and food supply by the sea, this is primarily about the overall safety and the approach of the world.”
“[Нелегитимный президент РФ Владимир] Putin does not want to end the war – he is looking for how to leave himself the opportunity to rekindle the war at any moment with even greater force. That is why in the future all the forms of pressure on Russia are invariably needed: strengthening our ability to defend ourselves, preserving sanctions and such diplomacy, such a conversation with Moscow that will not leave them any way to kill, ”he said.
Zelensky emphasized that the ceasefire should be such, “which does not allow to destroy life at all.”
“Ukraine agreed to the proposal of America, to the proposal of a complete, unconditional ceasefire. Putin refuses. We are waiting for the United States reaction – he still does not, we expect the reaction of everyone in Europe, everyone in the world who wants peace. Every day is ballistics from the Russian army, every day – the murder of people. Constant blows on our Sumy, Kharkov, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhya, Donetsk, Donetsk regions, Today, Russian ballistics against Kyiv.
