Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Russia’s refusal to agree to a ceasefire is complicating efforts to end the war.
“We see that Russia continues to oppose multiple calls for a ceasefire and has yet to decide when it will stop the killings. This complicates the situation,” the Ukrainian president wrote on X.
On Monday, Zelensky will travel to Washington, D.C., where U.S. President Donald Trump has said he will urge the Ukrainian leader to agree to a peace deal.
Trump said he wants to bypass a ceasefire in Ukraine and move directly to a permanent peace agreement following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
