How Zelenskyy comments on the "peace plan" of Trump's advisers
As the adviser to the head of the President's Office, Mykhailo Podolyak, emphasised, the plan to end the criminal war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine must meet the requirements of international law.
He also noted that the war against Ukraine cannot end without bringing the Kremlin leadership led by dictator Vladimir Putin to justice.
Ukraine has an absolutely clear understanding, and it is spelled out in the peace formula proposed by President Zelensky, it clearly states that peace can only be just, and peace can only be based on international law.
