‘No sign’ Russia getting set for peace: Zelensky

Reuters :

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia was preparing its troops for new offensives instead of getting ready to stop the war in Ukraine, after he spoke to the leaders of India and Saudi Arabia on Monday as part of efforts to mobilise support for Kyiv beyond Europe.

Zelensky won diplomatic backing from Europe and the NATO alliance on Sunday, amid fears that the US and Russian leaders may try to dictate terms for ending the 3-1/2-year war during their Friday summit in Alaska.

“Today, there was a report from the intelligence and military command about what Putin is counting on and what he is actually preparing for.

In particular, military preparations. He is certainly not getting ready for a ceasefire and war end,” Zelensky said in a nightly address.
