 "Russia is trying to buy time"/ Zelensky expresses dissatisfaction

Russia is trying to buy time to continue the war in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday, reacting to recent talks involving Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky's statement follows his phone call with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, during which the Ukrainian leader told his counterpart about his May 19 call with Trump, as well as the latter's talks with Putin.

"It is clear that Russia is trying to buy time to continue the war and occupation. We are working with our partners to put pressure on the Russians to change their behavior," Zelensky said on the 'X' platform.

Zelensky thanked partners who continue to impose sanctions on Russia for its aggression in Ukraine and stressed that the war must end at the negotiating table.

"Clear and realistic proposals must be on the table. Ukraine is ready for any effective format of negotiations. And if Russia continues to present unrealistic conditions and undermine possible results, there must be harsh consequences," Zelensky said, according to Ukrainian media.

Zelensky's remarks coincide with new sanctions unveiled by the EU and the UK on May 20, which target shadow fleet ships, entities that help Russia evade sanctions, actors involved in Russia's military sector, information and hybrid operations, etc./CNA
