Ukraine was ready for a permanent and long-term ceasefire, including before the leaders' meeting. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this in an interview with ABC News.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine does not like the condition of a ceasefire without security guarantees, but "we support it." According to him, it was Ukraine that was ready for a permanent and long-term ceasefire, a ceasefire for 30 days, and this was even before the leaders' meeting.
"We were ready for a ceasefire in the sky, on the ground, on the water. At least to start with something, or completely everything that in one form or another representatives of the Trump administration offered to the two sides - we supported all the proposals. Russia did not support any proposal," the head of state emphasized.
Russian dictator vladimir putin does not want to end the war, because this is a defeat for him, Zelenskyy emphasized.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on June 2, the aggressor country of russia refused to introduce a 30-day ceasefire and organize a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and russian dictator vladimir putin during talks in Istanbul.
On June 2, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the proposal of the aggressor country of russia to introduce a limited ceasefire to allegedly collect the bodies of the killed, and called the authors of this idea "idiots."
