Zelensky explained why the ceasefire on the part of the Russian Federation is not working

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained why the ceasefire is not working on the part of Russia and stressed that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin never wanted to end the war. However, Ukraine hopes for strong steps from America towards Russia. He stated this in an interview with CBS News, reports UNN.  

Putin cannot demand anything. This position should come not even from us, but from the United States, because the meaning of the ceasefire is unconditional. Putin cannot set any conditions for us, and we cannot set any conditions for the Russians. Although we have many conditions for them, because they came with war to our land and they are killing us here

The President noted that Ukraine agreed and went for this compromise. He noted that this is a compromise for Kyiv, because the Ukrainian side agreed to a ceasefire without knowing what will happen in the future, without prior security guarantees, without understanding the infrastructure of security guarantees.

What did the US do? The US stopped helping us, froze it to us and exchanged intelligence knowing that it would be very painful for us... We hear that this is a condition that it will be unblocked if Ukraine agrees to an unconditional ceasefire. What did we do? We said: we are going for an unconditional ceasefire. And here I have a question, as a president, something was blocked for me and I was told to go, otherwise we will not unblock it. I have a question: what did the US do in a mirror way towards the Russians?

Zelenskyy noted that nothing was blocked for the Russian side, but they were simply offered a ceasefire.

To be honest and fair, we were blocked and then offered. The Russians were offered and nothing was blocked, that is, when we talk about peace through strength, sorry, but it turns out that peace through strength works in one direction and only in ours. I believe that this is an unfair approach and therefore, to your (journalist's - ed.) question, why the ceasefire does not work - that is why it does not work. Putin never wanted to end the war, Putin did not want our independence, Putin wanted to destroy us all... The US should have taken a strong step and we still strongly hope for it and hope that there will be conditions towards Russia, and not towards Ukraine
