Ukraine is not ready for a ceasefire, because any such agreement would be a trap and a new opportunity for Russia

He said this at a press conference following the results of the Crimean Platform summit.

"We understood the hints and signals that we need to move on to the issue of ending (the war) and start talking with the Russian Federation. But we are not ready for a ceasefire. We explained that there will be no Minsk-3, Minsk-5 or Minsk-7. We won't play these games... because it's a trap. Ukraine has already lost part of its territories. Stabilizing the situation where Ukrainian troops are now in order to somehow calm the Russian Federation is something Ukraine will not do", Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. 

He also added that winter does not scare Ukrainian soldiers, because by then "we want to achieve a lot".
