The Head of State drew attention to the fact that it is the military who know perfectly well how to qualitatively monitor the ceasefire and the cessation of war.
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the key factor in this matter is only political will.
They (the negotiating parties — ed.), in principle, agreed on almost everything there. Monitoring will definitely involve the American side. I believe this is a constructive signal, — added the Ukrainian leader.
According to Zelensky, all other technical details regarding monitoring will be revealed later by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Andriy Hnatov, when he returns from Geneva.
