Why does Zelensky talk about Russia's lack of willingness to end the war?
The president referred to talks on concluding peace with Russia.
“Russian representatives are conducting long talks, but in fact Kindzhaly and Shahedy are speaking for them. This is the real attitude of Putin and his entourage,” wrote Zelensky, adding that Russia does not want to end the war. At the same time, Zelensky called on the US and European countries to increase pressure on the Kremlin and support Ukraine's defense capabilities, especially when it comes to air defense systems.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine also commented on the Russian attack. “Russia's only response to peace efforts is a brutal attack using hundreds of drones and missiles on Kiev and other cities and regions,” wrote Andriy Sybiha on the X platform.
According to the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one third of Kiev is without heat. Local authorities reported that in the Ukrainian capital, more than 2,600 residential buildings, 187 health care facilities, 138 schools and kindergartens were without heating. About 320 thousand customers in the Kiev Oblast are deprived of electricity supplies.
