Putin does not want to stop the war, — Zelensky

This was reported by Novyny.LIVE, citing the president’s interview with NBC News.

Why Zelensky believes Putin does not want to end the war

During the interview, the host showed the president a chart of Russian missile and drone launches since Donald Trump’s presidency. Noting that the number of strikes has only increased, Zelensky was asked why he thinks this is happening.

In response, the head of state emphasized that the issue is not related to the US president.

"Russia has increased its capabilities — investing money, receiving help from North Korea, machinery from China, and licenses from Iran. This shows that Putin doesn’t want to stop the war; he seeks pressure and ultimatums. Again, this is how Putin sees this war," Zelensky said.
