Zelensky: Russia ignores ceasefire proposal, Ukraine will respond in kind

According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a video address.

“Based on today’s developments, we see that Russia responded to our ceasefire proposal only with new strikes and new attacks. Throughout the entire day, almost every hour, reports of strikes have been coming in from different regions of Ukraine: Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Dnipro regions, Sumy and Sumy region, Chernihiv region, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Russia has not halted any form of its military activity. Unfortunately, it has not,” he said.

According to the President, Ukraine will act in kind and, depending on the situation overnight and the following day, will determine its fully justified responses.

“Russia has received from us a clear proposal for silence and diplomacy and knows how to contact Ukraine or our partners to agree on the details. If that one person in Moscow who cannot live without war is interested only in a parade and nothing else, then that is another matter,” Zelensky added.

At the same time, he stressed that Ukraine is ready to work for peace and seeks to end this war with dignity.

“Russia has received from us a clear proposal on silence of the guns and diplomacy – and knows how to contact Ukraine or our partners in order to coordinate the details. If the one person in Moscow who cannot live without war cares only about one parade and nothing else, that’s a different story,” the President emphasized.

As reported by Ukrinform, President Zelensky also said that in recent weeks air defense rings around Moscow have been strengthened by redeploying systems from Russian regions, creating additional opportunities for Ukraine’s long-range strikes.
