Zelenskyy calls Russia's refusal to accept ceasefire 'complicating situation'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a strong statement on Saturday, condemning Russia’s continued military strikes and rejection of ceasefire proposals. “We see that Russia rebuffs numerous calls for a ceasefire and has not yet determined when it will stop the killing. This complicates the situation,” Zelenskyy posted on X (formerly Twitter). He said that ending the violence was a prerequisite for peace in the region. “If they lack the will to carry out a simple order to stop the strikes, it may take a lot of effort to get Russia to have the will to implement far greater, peaceful coexistence with its neighbors for decades,” Zelenskyy added.
