Putin has once again confirmed that he is afraid of negotiations and is doing everything possible to prolong the war, stated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Telegram.
"Today, Putin reiterated that he fears negotiations, fears strong leaders, and is doing everything to drag out the war. Every step he takes and all his cynical tricks are aimed at making the war endless," the Ukrainian president's statement reads.
"Right now, we see that there is a chance to achieve real peace, but it is Putin who is doing everything to either continue the full-scale killing or take a pause, so he can later prepare for a new full-scale invasion while launching hybrid attacks," Zelensky added.
The Ukrainian president warned world leaders against repeating the mistakes of previous years. According to him, "Putin has significant opportunities to destroy peace, but too small and cowardly a heart to withstand the true pressure from leaders."
