Zelensky: Now we have all heard from Russia very predictable, very manipulative words from Putin in response to the idea of ceasefire on the front - he is actually preparing a refusal as of now. Putin, of course, is afraid to tell President Trump directly that he wants to continue this war, wants to kill Ukrainians. And that is why they, in Moscow, are setting such preconditions for the idea of ceasefire so that nothing will work out at all or so that it will not work out for as long as possible. Putin often does this - he does not say anything directly, but does so in a way that practically only delays everything and makes normal decisions impossible. We believe that this is all now - another Russian manipulation
