“Ukraine will act fairly—day by day. We proposed a ceasefire starting at midnight on May 6. Yesterday and today, Russia has violated this ceasefire. In kind and in response to Russian strikes—our long-range sanctions; in response to Russia’s willingness to move toward diplomacy, we will pursue the path of diplomacy,” Zelenskyy stated.
The president emphasized that Russia is not seriously considering the possibility of a ceasefire, while Ukraine continues to work toward achieving peace.
