Zelensky: Russia is complicating the end of the war

Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia's refusal to agree to a ceasefire is complicating efforts to end the war.

"We see that Russia rejects numerous calls for a ceasefire and has not yet determined when it will stop the killings. This complicates the situation," the Ukrainian president said in a statement to X.

On Monday, Zelensky will travel to Washington DC, where US President Donald Trump has said he will ask the Ukrainian leader to agree to a peace deal.

Trump said he wants to bypass a ceasefire in Ukraine and move directly to a permanent peace agreement after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The US president wrote in Truth Social after Friday's summit that this would be "the best way to end the terrible war", as ceasefires often "don't last".

After a phone call with Trump after the summit, Zelensky called for a real and lasting peace, adding that "the fire must cease" and the killings must stop.
