Zelensky: a full ceasefire will take place after the framework agreement is signed
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Thursday that a full ceasefire in the war with Russia will be possible only after signing a framework agreement and added that Russia will not agree to a ceasefire without such an agreement.
— The United States, after repeated talks with Russia, believes that a full ceasefire can only occur after signing the framework agreement. In my opinion, it is no secret that the Russians will not agree to a ceasefire if there is no agreement, Zelensky said during a meeting with journalists.
According to the president, the plan being prepared “includes several issues, such as post-war economy and reconstruction, security guarantees and other matters, which are specified in the basic document, and then, based on this or that point that requires clarification, a separate document will be created.”
— This means that the 20 points constitute the foundation, the conditional framework on the basis of which the appropriate number of documents will be created, Zelensky explained.
