We know that Putin has been preparing a massive strike against Ukraine for some time, Zelensky wrote on the social platform X, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. That is exactly the threat we are facing tonight. Russia s head is completely refusing to end the war.
Zelensky repeated his call to meet with Russian officials to seek an end to the four-year-long war. Earlier this month, he asked Putin to meet with him face-to-face; Putin rejected the request, saying he did not see any point for now.
And although through all possible official and unofficial channels –– including through people close to him –– we have conveyed that the war can and must be ended, and that we in Ukraine are ready for meetings and meaningful negotiations, he sees only further aggression against Ukraine and against other neighbors and Europe as a whole, he wrote on social media.
