— Vladimir Putin finally says himself that he is ready to end the war. We put a little pressure on him, Volodymyr Zelensky said in his Sunday evening speech.
The Ukrainian president also said that it was necessary to end the war and “reliably guarantee security.” “We need to look for a meeting format that would allow this to happen,” he said, quoted by Ukraińska Pravda.
Vladimir Putin spoke about ending the war. “I think it's getting closer.”
Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that “the conflict with Ukraine is coming to an end.” — If Volodymyr Zelensky wants to meet, he can come to Moscow, he said.
Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated that Kiev would agree to any location for a potential meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, except for Russia and Belarus.
Russians continue to attack Ukraine
On Sunday, Volodymyr Zelensky also spoke about violating the temporary ceasefire with Russia. — There were no massive attacks today: missile or air raids. But there is no peace on the front, in the towns near the front. The Russians continue their attack operations in key areas, he emphasized.
— Over the last 24 hours and today, there have been over 150 assault operations, over a hundred shellings and almost ten thousand further kamikaze drone attacks. This means that the Russian army does not comply with the arrangements and does not even try to do so, he noted. — We will respond in the same way if the Russians decide to return to full-scale war, our response will be immediate and tangible. Distance is becoming less and less important, we have shown this with our long-range attacks. Ukraine has always been clear and honest on this issue, he added.
Ceasefire and exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine
Due to the ongoing war between the US and Israel against Iran, Ukraine-US-Russia negotiations were last held in February. It was previously announced that the talks could take place between March 5 and 9.
