Zelenskyy also asked when he might resign from the post of President of Ukraine.
But not until the war is over, — said the head of state.
Putin refuses peace talks on Ukraine's terms
Recently, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin once again cynically stated that he is not going to decide on a ceasefire.
According to him, he does not want to do this because, they say, he does not believe in positive steps by the team of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
This is the first. Second. We cannot allow that after the ceasefire, the adversary will take advantage of this ceasefire in order to improve its position, to arm itself, to equip its army with the help of violent mobilization and to be ready for the continuation of the armed conflict, — the illegitimate head of the Kremlin cynically lies.
The Office of the President of Ukraine has not yet commented on these scandalous statements in any way.
