He made the statement on Telegram following a Russian Shahed attack on Ukraine, which targeted civilian infrastructure.

“Today, Putin has effectively rejected the proposal for a full ceasefire. The world should rightly reject any of his attempts to prolong the war. Sanctions against Russia, assistance to Ukraine, strengthening allies in the free world, and working toward security guarantees are the necessary steps,” the President emphasized.

Zelenskyy added that only a genuine halt to Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure, as evidence of a genuine desire to end the war, can bring peace closer.

  • U.S. President Donald Trump has held a phone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. According to both parties, they agreed on a limited stop in attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
