No conditions: Zelensky is ready for a ceasefire again

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, said that Ukraine is ready for a cease-fire without conditions and a transition to diplomacy. He said this in an interview with CBC News.

This is how Zelensky answered the question of whether Ukraine, if there are security guarantees, is ready to stop the conflict with Russia along the current line of combat contact and transfer the settlement to the diplomatic plane.

"If the Russians are ready for a ceasefire, yes, without conditions, just a ceasefire and negotiations, " Zelensky said.

He also said that Washington should increase economic pressure on Moscow and use its capabilities to limit its ability to continue the war. According to Zelensky, such steps are important not only for Ukraine, they should also be considered " as a manifestation of respect for Americans who have supported Ukraine and democratic values" since the beginning of SMO.

In particular, he proposed to block a number of areas for Russia and thereby significantly weaken its potential. He claims that Kiev continues its dialogue with the United States and the American side is " already taking certain steps ".

The interview took place on the eve of Zelensky's meeting with US President Donald Trump, which will be held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly summit in New York.

Recall, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at the international scientific and expert forum "Primakov Readings" that Moscow would not agree to a cease-fire on Ukraine for the sake of resuming negotiations. " We are told: " Let's have a ceasefire along the line of contact, and then negotiations will follow". No, we already did that when we agreed in Istanbul, initialed and, as a gesture of goodwill, stopped firing and even... withdrew units from Kiev," the minister said.

He noted that Russia is ready for negotiations, but " it will not allow you to cheat with yourself". "Although sometimes we are naive people, we may once again be misled by our simplicity, but we are on special alert now, " the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry added.

As reported by EADaily, Zelensky persuaded Trump to meet in In New York on the sidelines of the session of the UN General Assembly. He announced this in his telegram channel.
